Porter Cr. Br. Repair

The Porter Creek Bridge Repair project, managed by Sonoma County and Sonoma Public Infrastructure, involves stabilizing the footing of the center pier of a bridge located on Sweetwater Springs Road over Porter Creek in unincorporated Sonoma County, California. The bridge was previously closed by the County due to safety concerns and an inability to support traffic. To maintain traffic flow on Sweetwater Springs Road, a temporary Bailey Bridge was installed in early 2025 and will remain in place until the permanent repairs are cleared for construction. This project is classified under NAICS code 237310 and is located in Healdsburg, California. It has been granted a Notice of Categorical Exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act under sections 15301, 15302, and 15307(c), as well as emergency section 15269(a), due to the necessity of repairing facilities damaged in a disaster area under a state of emergency. David Walsh, Senior Environmental Specialist and Project Planner for the Permit and Resource Management Department, serves as the primary point of contact for the project.
