MONDAY, JULY 10-HIGHWAY 1 CLOSURE UPDATE: FROM JUST NORTH OF SALMON CREEK (MON 3.0) TO THE “MAF” (PM 46.35)- PAUL’S SLIDE CONTINUES WITH LOCAL/DELIVERY ACCESS AND MUD CREEK REMAINS CLOSED INDEFINITELY–NEXT UPDATE THURSDAY, JULY 13.
No changes since last update, Friday, but here are a couple photos of the progress on the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge:
How will the new bridge avoid the landslide problem that took out the old bridge?
The old bridge had two columns, neither anchored in bedrock. This one has one, on bedrock, and then the abutments are solid as is the bridge surface. Completely different design, as the old bridge was built in the 60’s.
