The City of Sacramento Department of Public Works is proposing to replace the Auburn Boulevard Bridge at Arcade Creek due to its structurally deficient and functionally obsolete status, as determined by the Federal Highway Administration criteria. The project site is located in the north eastern corner of the City of Sacramento, near the border with Sacramento County, where Auburn Boulevard crosses Arcade Creek, east of Winding Way and west of Park Road and the I-80 ramps. The Auburn Boulevard Bridge over Arcade Creek is a reinforced concrete T-beam structure that was originally constructed in 1927, and then widened in 1965. The bridge has two spans with a total length of 70 feet. It carries two lanes of traffic in both the eastbound and westbound direction, with a left turn pocket for westbound to southbound users.
The new bridge will be 100 feet wide (see cross section below) and be raised slightly to remain operational during a 20-year storm event. The new bridge will carry two lanes of traffic in each direction, with a dual left lane for westbound to southbound users.at the Auburn Blvd./Winding Way
The proposed bridge replacement will provide a new bridge that is consistent with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and Caltrans design standards for roadway geometry, accessibility and structural integrity. The profile of the bridge will be raised slightly which will allow the bridge to stay above water and operational during a 20-year storm event.
The estimated construction cost of replacing the Auburn Boulevard Bridge including construction Management is approximately $11M and is primarily funded through the Federal Bridge Replacement Program with Measure A sales tax funds being used as the Local Match.
The City is currently conducting preliminary engineering studies and the environmental review and this phase is anticipated to be completed in December 2020. Final Design and Right-of-Way acquisition work will start in 2021 and be completed in 2022 and Construction is anticipated to begin in Spring 2024.
