The Lagunitas Creek Bridge, an 86-year-old crossing that serves as the gateway to Point Reyes Station, will be replaced under a plan by Caltrans.

The agency has just extended a comment period through June 20 to get input from the public on a number of designs for the new 150-foot span, which would not likely be opened until after 2020. ...

Short and long steel truss bridges, a concrete girder bridge and a suspension span have been suggested as alternatives by Caltrans.

The current bridge has been determined to be seismically deficient and retrofitting the span deemed infeasible due to its age. ...

The new bridge project is estimated to cost $5.8 million. A draft of an environmental review document will be made available for public review and comment in mid-2016. The final environmental document is expected to be issued by early 2017 and design completion will be in late 2018.

Construction is then expected to last about two to three years. A temporary one-lane configuration across the creek would have to be established as a detour.
