Emergency Deck Repair

Bridge Scheduled to Reopen at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 21^st

SOLANO COUNTY– The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is scheduled to reopen the Highway 84-Miner Slough Bridge in Solano County at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 21^st.

Crews have completed a critical section of bridge deck repair work which started earlier this month. The work was required after the deck deteriorated over time.

Caltrans will now continue with other bridge repair work which can be completed while the bridge remains open. The entire project could be completed as early as mid-July.

The Highway 84-Miner Slough Bridge is located on Ryer Island in the Delta near Rio Vista and Sacramento County.

Boaters should contact the U.S Coast Guard ahead of time to schedule waterway crossings under the bridge. Crossings must be approved ahead of time.

Ship and boat operators should be aware that during the repairs, the bridge may not be passable by water vessels.
