For the benefit of the Albion River Bridge Project, Caltrans is using the Construction Manager General Contractor (CM/GC) Design and Construction Method. This method involves integrating a contractor (Granite Construction) early in the design process to incorporate their perspective in project design and planning. This method provides more innovation, efficiency, and savings opportunities than traditional project delivery methods.
Caltrans prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) which circulated to the public for 90 days between July 8, 2024, and October 9, 2024.
The design of the preferred alternative, Design Option 2B, will be refined. Permits, agreements, and approvals will be obtained from jurisdictional agencies.
