CITYo`CHico Bridge Replacement Project
The City of Chico obtained funding to replacethe '�M"°� � �1 ;� "'
structurally deficient and functionally obsolete
f
Cuynn Avenue Bridge over Lindo Channel. The
bridge is located between East Avenue and �
West Lindo Avenue, near the western edge of
the City limits. The existing one-lane bridge
provides a vital link between the Cussick Area
Neighborhood and The Avenues, as it is one of
only two vehicular crossings of Lindo Channel
between Esplanade Avenue and Nord Avenue.
The existing bridge is an 86-foot long, single-span, steel Warren pony truss bridge.The bridge is
structurally deficient and functionally obsolete forthe following reasons:

intended. of the bridge.
To address these concerns, the City is in the process of developing a project to improve the safety of the
crossing by replacing the bridge.The project improvements are anticipated to tie into West Lindo Avenue
nearthe existing T-intersection and will extend past the bridge approximately 200 feet north along Culynn
Avenue. To facilitate construction, the bridge and a portion of Cuynn Avenue, near the structure, will be
temporarily closed to traffic. Access to residential properties will be maintained at all times.
Environmental reviews and documentationinconformance with the requirements of both NEPA(National
Environmental Policy Act) and CEQA(California Environmental Quality Act) will be completed' as part of
the project.
You may see some survey crews, geotechnical drilling work or environmental studies taking place nearthe
bridge. The study results will provide important information for the engineers as they begin designing the
improvements. Also,if you live nearthe project site,you maybe asked to allow surveyors and environmental
specialists to enter your property to complete their studies.
Thee project team, led by the City of Chico, includes California
�! Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Mark Thomas,
Crawford &Associates, Gallaway Enterprises, and Bender
Rosenthal.
The project is 100% federally funded through the Highway
r
Bridge Program and Toll Credits. The federal funds are being
,w administered through the Caltrans Local Assistance Program.
Community outreach, site surveys and environmental studies are expected to begin in the next couple of
months. The anticipated project timeline is as follows:

process will integrate the community's vision and resident
needs so that they are reflected in the final design. °
