Caltrans release:
And just like that the new Jacoby Creek Bridge has been moved to its permanent home! Crews worked overnight last weekend on U.S. 101 between Arcata and Eureka to prepare and complete the big move using the jack-and-slide technique, lifting the bridge up and sliding it into place inch-by-inch. You can see the whole thing in just over a minute in this timelapse video.
Many thanks to Caltrans and Golden State Bridge, Inc. crews for their hard work and to the traveling public for your patience as we replaced the old 1920s bridge.
