Creston Road over Quail Creek Bridge Replacement Project, Paso Robles
The project proposes replacing the existing 85 year old storm damaged timber and concrete bridge on Creston Road over Quail Creek with a new concrete bridge.
The purpose of the project is to improve public safety along this portion of the roadway as the existing bridge has reached the end of its service life. The bridge experienced significant structural damage during storms in winter 2023, and temporary repairs were completed to re-open the road to the public.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has determined that the existing bridge should be replaced, making the project eligible for federal funding. A temporary detour will maintain access to the area during construction.
