Caltrans will host a virtual open house for the Pudding Creek Bridge Widening & Rail Upgrade Project on Wednesday, May 31 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Staff will be presenting information and answering questions related to the safety project located on State Route 1 north of Fort Bragg in Mendocino County.

The purpose of this meeting is to inform the public about the construction and traffic impacts that are anticipated this summer. The Pudding Creek Bridge Widening and Rail Upgrade project is planned to improve safety for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians. The project includes widening the bridge to accommodate two 12-foot wide lanes, two 8-foot wide shoulders, two 6-foot walkways and new bridge railings to meet current standards. The project also includes “Complete Streets” improvements by constructing sidewalks on both sides of SR 1 from Pudding Creek Bridge south to Elm Street and north to Pudding Creek Drive and drainage improvements and relocation of the City of Fort Bragg’s waterline from the Pudding Creek Dam to SR 1.

Please submit any comments or questions before the meeting to Manny.Machado@dot.ca.gov. The public can attend the open house by using the WebEx link or by calling the meeting phone number below.
