Title

Rosa Morada Road Bridge Replacement Project, Bridge No. 43C-0041

Description

San Benito County proposes to replace the Rosa Morada Road Bridge over Arroyo Dos Picachos. The basic elements of this project include construction of a temporary on-site detour, removal of the existing Rosa Morada Road Bridge, raising the east approach to eliminate sag and avoid potential for overtopping during flooding, and construction of a new Rosa Morada Road Bridge. The purpose of the project is to improve safety by replacing a structurally and functionally deficient bridge facility. The existing Rosa Morada Road Bridge is only wide enough for a single lane of traffic and, hydraulically, the bridge length is inadequate and the abutments encroach into the creek channel, a condition that has created scour issues at the base of the abutments. There is also a substantial dip in the roadway approach at the east end of the existing structure, which the project will eliminate.
