Week 3 Update

The project continues to make progress towards the instillation of the new bridge. The initial concrete for the wing-walls has been poured this week following an inspection of the pilings. Evans Excavating has been working to regrade the approaches on either side of the abutments as well as finally remove the current crossing. Below are some photos of this week’s activity. Check back next week for more updates.

JS Morris worked to form around the rebar wing-wall structure prior to the concrete pouring.










The wing-wall structures on the creek’s right bank have been formed, poured and stripped to the next elevation. JS Morris has begun working on the left bank abutment and should have it to the next stage by the middle of next week.
Demolition of the old crossing started on Friday and will continue next week.












Prior to the removal of the old crossing we resurveyed the small pool for any sensitive species. We found three baby western pond turtles in the pool and relocated them downstream to San Antonio Creek.
