Bridges on the Sonoma County road system are maintained by the Roads Division of the Sonoma County Department of Transportation & Public Works (TPW). TPW currently maintains 328 bridges, which serve over 800,000 trips per day on average.

Bridge Inspections

In California, all designated bridge structures are inspected by Caltrans, the state transportation agency, on a two-year cycle. A bridge inspection examines the structural integrity of each bridge, and is coupled with ongoing staff inspections to form the basis for the County’s bridge program.

Bridge Scour

Stabilization of areas where material is eroding away from the bridge foundation; or, removal of sediment such as sand and rocks from around abutments and piers.

Resurfacing

Removal and replacement of damaged concrete, as well as application of surface treatments such as methacrylate resin.

Seismic retrofits

Modifications or enhancements to the existing structure in order to reduce susceptibility to earthquake damage.

Reconstruction

Complete removal of the entire bridge structure; construction of a new bridge.
