NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – Caltrans has completed construction of the new Highway 29 Troutdale Creek bridge.
The project is done one year ahead of the original late 2016 completion date and Caltrans is now anticipating opening the new bridge to traffic at 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 23.
The bridge is in northwest Napa County between Calistoga and Middletown.
Motorists on Highway 29 should drive with caution as crews switch traffic lanes and remove temporary traffic signal lights approaching the new bridge.
Drivers may also encounter intermittent closures and one-way traffic controls prior to the traffic switch and opening of the new bridge. Please #BeWorkZoneAlert.
Caltrans started construction of the new Troutdale Creek bridge in May.
The new bridge replaces the existing Troutdale Creek bridge with wider northbound and southbound Highway 29 bridge approaches.
The existing bridge was replaced because of years of wear at its base from the Troutdale Creek.
The new bridge approaches have also been realigned to conform to the new bridge, and improve sight-lines for motorists.
