Water Under the Bridge: Fixing Floods at Cosumnes River Granite Construction and Caltrans have partnered to devise a phased construction of several smaller “child” projects leading to the overall “parent” project on this $166.9 million job.
By Ruksana Hussain CEG CORRESPONDENT
Watsonville-based Granite Construction and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) are constructing two new bridge structures to replace the Cosumnes River bridge and the Cosumnes
River Overflow bridge on State Highway 99. The current structures are in need of replacement due to wear and age. The project will improve safety through the state route and replace the existing bridges with structures that meet current design standards and increasing transportation needs along that corridor.
Work began in fall 2019 on the $166.9 million project near the City of Elk Grove in Sacramento County, and is on track to be completed per deadline in 2024, with funding from Senate Bill 1. The scope of work includes the construction of two new bridge structures where the southbound McConnell underpass and the existing northbound
