Citrus Heights Creek Erosion and Bridge Scour Protection Project

The City of Citrus Heights is initiating the Creek Erosion and Bridge Scour Protection Project in Sacramento County, California, to address natural erosion impacting public infrastructure. The project focuses on installing scour and erosion protection measures, including creek channel and slope stabilization, beneath four specific bridges: the Indian River Drive, Matheny Way, Sundance, and Patton Avenue bridges. These efforts are designed to extend the service life of the bridges, maintain public safety, protect critical infrastructure, and reduce long-term maintenance requirements. Additional scope of work includes the removal of an abandoned joint trench with exposed conduits from Consolidated Communications, Inc. and Comcast within the Indian River Bridge impact area, as well as the relocation of active and inactive Pacific Gas and Electric gas lines near the Matheny Bridge. Classified under NAICS code 237990, the project was approved on July 8, 2026, following a Negative Declaration under CEQA, which determined that the project would not have a significant environmental effect. The primary point of contact for this forecast is City Engineer Leslie Blomquist.
