Sutter Slough Bridge – Emergency Repair

Sacramento County Department of Transportation is preparing to conduct emergency repairs on the Sutter Slough Bridge Road Bridge following damage caused in September 2024 when a high clearance vehicle struck the bridge’s superstructure, compromising critical bracing elements. The scope of work includes replacing the damaged portal bracing, top chord diagonal bracing, and riveted connections with newly installed bolted connections, ensuring structural integrity and long-term durability. All repair activities are confined to the superstructure, with no work planned in or around Sutter Slough itself, minimizing environmental impact and avoiding the need for water-based operations. The project is listed as a forecast with a posted date of August 8, 2025, and primary contact for inquiries is Julie Newton, Environmental Coordinator, with Tim Stevens, Senior Civil Engineer, as a secondary point of contact. The project is located in Sacramento, California, and is being managed through Sacramento County’s transportation infrastructure programs.
