Canyon Creek Bridge

The Canyon Creek Bridge project, managed by Caltrans District 3 in California, focuses on the testing and repair of fracture critical weld joints on T1 steel girders. This initiative is a response to a nationwide Federal Highway Administration mandate to identify and rectify weld anomalies in bridges utilizing T1 steel girders in fracture critical configurations. The scope of work specifically involves testing these weld joints and performing necessary repairs on any joints found to have voids. The project is located on State Route 162, from post mile 29.96 to 30.11, northeast of Oroville in Butte County. Under NAICS code 237310, the project has been granted a Notice of Exemption under the Existing Facilities category of Section 15301, as it is not expected to result in adverse environmental impacts. Administrative oversight is provided by Marta Martinez-Topete, and the project was formally certified by the California Department of Transportation.
