Title

County Road 305 over Watson Creek Bridge Replacement Project, Bridge No. 11C-0091, Federal Aid No. BRLO-5911(056)

Description

The Glenn County Public Works Agency, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), is proposing to replace Bridge No. 11C-0091 on County Road 305 Watson Creek. The primary objective of this project is to replace the existing structurally deficient bridge with a new wider structure. The project is funded through the Federal Aid Highway Bridge Program (HBP) and Federal Toll Credits. The bridge was last inspected in August 2021 and given a Structure Evaluation of "minimum tolerable". The new roadway for County Road 305 will be designed in accordance with the site constraints, Glenn County design standards, and AASHTO's Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets. Utilizing Glenn County Standards, the roadway width for rural and agricultural developments is two-12’ lanes with two-4’ shoulders for a total width of 32’. This width is preferred by the County for traffic safety due to oversized agricultural equipment that frequently uses the road and bridge with the added consideration for the anticipated width increase of modern farm equipment.
