Caltrans proactively maintains and invests in California’s transportation system to ensure a safe and reliable state transportation system. Over 3,000 vehicles per day cross the Albion River Bridge to reach places of employment, goods and services, tourist destinations, schools, and health and emergency services. The proposed project is needed to address the existing bridge’s functional, safety, and structural deficiencies.
Caltrans uses the Construction Manager General Contractor (CM/GC) Design and Construction Method. This method involves Granite Construction early in the design process to incorporate the contractor’s perspective in the project planning process. This method provides more innovation, efficiency, and savings opportunities than traditional project delivery methods.
