SUMMARY:
The Sacramento Street Bridge over Mare Island Railroad is located between Illinois Street and Farragut Ave on Sacramento Street. The bridge was originally built in 1913 and widened in the 1930's.
The existing bridge is a steel framed structure with concrete slab. The bridge was identified to seismic vulnerabilities as per current standards. The City of Vallejo received a grant application approval for replacement of bridge from Caltrans under the Highway Bridge Program (HBP). Funding sources for the project include 88.5% federal funds from HBP and 11.5% local matching funds.
The new bridge and required roadway approach work will bring the bridge crossing up to current design standards in all aspects including horizontal and vertical clearances for Railroad as well as addressing the seismic deficiencies of the existing bridge. Modifications to the existing roadway approaches required to meet the new bridge configurations will also be built. The City of Vallejo is currently starting in the Construction Phase of the Project.
Budget: $8 M Original Engineer's Construction Estimate; $9 M Updated Cost Estimate
Status: Project Design is Complete and Construction Phase is starting in mid-March 2021
