Pudding Creek Bridge Widening & Rail Upgrade

completed

Caltrans proposes to rehabilitate the existing Pudding Creek Bridge (Caltrans Bridge 10-0158) on State Route 1 (SR1) in Fort Bragg in Mendocino County (post miles 61.9). The purpose of the project is to improve safety for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. The project includes widening the bridge to accommodate two 12-foot-wide lanes, two 8-foot-wide shoulders, two 6-foot walkways and new bridge railings to meet current standards. The project also includes constructing sidewalks on both sides of SR 1 from Pudding Creek Bridge south to Elm Street and north to Pudding Creek Drive. The project also includes drainage improvements and relocation of the City of Fort Bragg’s waterline from the Pudding Creek Dam to SR 1.
