Canyon Road Bridge construction moves closer to completion
By Vera Kochan
provided

Much has been accomplished regarding the first phase of construction for the new Canyon Road Bridge. The installation of "planks" spanning across the "dewatered" creek creates the false work used to build a new deck on top of it. The new roadway was moved eastward making the new bridge longer at 165 feet versus the original 100-foot long bridge.
A tall crane lifted large white sacks that created a diversion dam both up and downstream of the construction site. This maneuver allowed for the installation of a large stormwater pipe between dams to continue the creek flow. Wooden forms were also erected to pour the bridge abutment walls.
Additional good news for commuters is that access through the bridge will now be open most days. According to Public Works Director Shawn Knapp, "There will be intermittent closures on an as-needed basis. Please go to the town's website (www.moraga.ca.us) or sign up on Notify Me to receive updates."
