Work includes the demolition of the old structure, construction of new abutments and a center pier using pile driving, excavation, placement of rock slope protection, vegetation removal, roadway reconstruction of the approaches, installation of a temporary shoe fly road to maintain traffic, and a temporary creek diversion system to manage water flow during construction. All work must comply with Caltrans Standard Specifications, County Improvement Specifications, and relevant federal and state environmental regulations, including those enforced by the Central Valley Water Board. The contractor is required to obtain permits under the Clean Water Act, including Section 401 Certification and Section 404 Permit, as well as a Streambed Alteration Agreement. Noise levels must not exceed 86 dBA at 50 feet between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., and light-based warning signals are preferred.
