Escalon-Bellota Road Bridge Replacement Project over Littlejohns Creek

The Escalon-Bellota Road Bridge Replacement Project, located at Littlejohns Creek in San Joaquin County, California, involves the replacement of an existing bridge with a wider, two-span, cast-in-place pre-stressed concrete slab bridge. Under the leadership of project proponent Robelyne Patricio of the San Joaquin County Department of Public Works, the scope of work includes clearing vegetation within the project footprint, constructing a temporary detour bridge, and implementing a water diversion system. Upon completion of the new bridge, the temporary structures will be removed and the detour area will be restored to its pre-construction conditions. The project is governed by a Streambed Alteration Agreement (EPIMS Notification Number SJN-66366-R2) executed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife pursuant to section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. A Notice of Determination issued on July 27, 2026, confirms that the project will not have a significant environmental effect within the agency's jurisdiction, provided that specific mitigation measures are followed. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310 for highway, street, and bridge construction.
