Document Description
The proposed project is to stabilize the footing of the center pier of a bridge along Sweetwater Springs Road over Porter Creek {38.541496; -122.926258) in unincorporated Sonoma County, California. The existing state of the bridge cannot support traffic and was closed by the County. A Bailey Bridge was placed over the bridge in early 2025 so traffic can continue using Sweetwater Springs Road, although this is a temporary measure until the bridge repair is cleared for construction.
