Overview

Vincent Thomas Bridge (VTB) on State Route 47 (SR 47) has been in service for 60 years. Although the bridge is structurally sound, the bridge deck is rapidly deteriorating. This is due to concrete fatigue caused by heavy traffic loading, as well as environmental deterioration due to age and the marine environment. Caltrans is proposing the VTB Deck Replacement Project to replace the entire bridge deck and seismic sensors of the bridge to preserve the functionality and structural integrity of the Vincent Thomas Bridge deck and to enhance the bridge’s overall safety.

Build Alternative

This alternative would replace the entire bridge deck and seismic sensors and upgrade median barriers, fencing and railings. Construction staging options are included with the Build Alternative.
