Board of Supervisors approves replacement of Geysers Road bridge over Frasier Creek

The Board of Supervisors today approved plans and specifications for the replacement of the Geysers Road bridge that spans Frasier Creek east of Cloverdale. The existing bridge was identified by Caltrans as functionally obsolete and structurally vulnerable to failure during a major earthquake. The new two-lane bridge is designed to meet current standards including improvements to roadway approaches, travel lanes and road shoulders. 

“This bridge replacement project, like all County infrastructure projects, represents a collective investment in quality, safety, resiliency and access,” said Supervisor James Gore, whose district includes the bridge. “After years of civil and geotechnical engineering, traffic studies, hydrology and public outreach, we can rest assured that the new Geysers Road bridge will address key concerns and provide safe, reliable access for generations to come.” 

The Geysers Road bridge replacement project, which is expected to cost nearly $5.5 million, is reimbursable through the Federal Highway Bridge Program, with funding programmed by Caltrans for the 2025-26 fiscal year. The project contract was awarded to Redding-based Steelhead Constructors JV as the lowest responsible bidder.
