Sacramento Street Bridge

UPDATE - FRIDAY, MAY 13, 2022:

The Sacramento Street Bridge Project (located at 1628 Sacramento Street) will require a full closure of Sacramento Street and the side streets (Farragut Ave, Illinois St, and Yolo Ave) to all traffic within the project limits next week on Wednesday, May 18^th through Thursday, May 19^th in order to complete construction of the final roadway pavement.

Pedestrian access on sidewalks and access to all emergency service vehicles during the shutdown will be maintained.

Substantial completion of the construction is currently scheduled to wrap up in mid-May, with minor construction follow-up items to be completed by the contractor in the two to three weeks following.

We will continue to update you on the project as the project progresses.

The structural components of the Sacramento Street Bridge, including the bridge span, abutment supports, retaining walls, and deep pile foundations, are complete. The final work needed to prepare the bridge to open for traffic on Sacramento Street, including the roadway approach work, are under construction now.

While poor soil conditions severely delayed the construction of the bridge, it is anticipated to be partially opened to through traffic by the end of the month, pending weather events. This partial opening of the bridge to traffic will allow completion of the second stage of construction which includes final pavement, sidewalk, and utility work.

Once the Bridge has been opened to through traffic, it is anticipated that the remaining work can be completed by the end of January 2022, however, additional delays due to winter rain events are expected in the coming months.

We will continue to keep you updated on the timeline.

Dear Neighbors:

Please be advised that demolition work required to remove the existing Sacramento Street Bridge over Mare Island Railway will begin on Wednesday, April 21, 2021, and will last approximately one week.

The nature of the work requires breaking apart the concrete bridge deck by jackhammering and removal of the steel supporting structure and concrete foundations.

Please anticipate elevated construction noise during this phase of construction.

We truly appreciate your cooperation during this phase of construction.

If you have any questions, please contact Tom Walker at (408) 307-9765 or email him at tom.walker@cityofvallejo.net.
