Capell Creek Bridge Replacement: 1-Way Traffic Control To Begin

NAPA COUNTY, CA— One-way traffic control is scheduled to begin Monday on state Highway 128 over the Capell Creek Bridge in Capell Valley, according to Caltrans. The traffic control measure is to accommodate construction of the bridge replacement and is expected to remain in effect until the summer of 2021, Caltrans District 4 Spokesperson Pedro Quintana said Friday.

"Temporary traffic signals will be in place to guide the one-way traffic over the bridge and temporary barriers will be in place," Quintana said.

A temporary modular steel bridge is being built for motorists to use while the existing bridge is demolished and a new structure one is built.

"When the temporary bridge is finished, traffic will be shifted to the new, temporary bridge, Quintana said. "The one-way signalized traffic control will remain in place."

A reduced speed limit of 25 mph on the bridge is to remain in effect for the duration of the project.

The one-way traffic control is effective 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until the project is completed.
