This includes building a new bridge across the Russian River and an at-grade crossing over the existing Northwestern Pacific Railroad tracks. The project aims to improve public safety, emergency response times, and overall connectivity. The Project Approval and Environmental Documents (PA&ED), as well as the Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E) is funded through the Local Transportation Climate Adaptation Program (LTCAP) Cycle 1 for $12,000,000, with no local match.
