Construction Cameras Help Caltrans Communicate

摘要

The California Dept. of Transportation (Caltrans) continues to move forward with the Antlers Bridge Replacement Project. Construction began in October 2009 and the five-year effort is just over 50% complete. The new structure will replace Antlers Bridge on Interstate 5 in Shasta County over the Sacramento River arm of Shasta Lake. The five-span concrete bridge will be 1,942 ft long and 104 ft wide. It is being constructed on a new parallel alignment slightly east of the existing bridge. In addition, a 0.4-mile-long section of highway south of the bridge will be realigned. The existing 1,330-ft-long structure is scheduled for demolition. The $125-million contract, 43% below the engineer's estimate, was awarded by Caltrans along with the Federal Highway Administration to Tutor Perini of Sylmar, Calif. It is financed with federal and state transportation dollars through the State Highway Operation and Protection Program.
