"The Bureau of Reclamation, in coordination with the California Department of Parks and Recreation, will temporarily close the Ponderosa Way Bridge over the North Fork American River to vehicles for construction beginning July 15 and ending in December 2022."
“In addition to bridge replacement, the project will repair drainage and surfaces on Ponderosa Way leading to the river and bridge. Foundation work will strengthen and stabilize the concrete supports on the edge of the river.”
"The single-lane bridge will be replaced with an updated design using newer construction techniques. The new bridge will have a weight rating sufficient for fire engines, enhancing the area’s fire response."
