Construction crews began work on Hickman Road over Tuolumne River Bridge Project on June 2020. The $18 million, 750-foot long, 75-foot tall, 5 span bridge replacement project has primarily involved building the bridge foundations and substructure. The bridge is supported on 100-foot deep piles with diameters ranging between 8 and 10 feet. All of the bridge abutments and columns have been completed.
Falsework and superstructure construction is currently underway, which consists of a 48-foot wide by 7-foot deep 3-cell, post-tensioned concrete box girder. Construction on the new bridge will continue into the winter.
