Highway 160-Three-Mile Slough Bridge near Rio Vista

One-Way Traffic Controls July 23 and July 24

SACRAMENTO COUNTY – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will perform electrical work on the Three-Mile Slough Bridge on Highway 160 near Rio Vista this week.

The work is scheduled to be performed on Wednesday, July 23, and Thursday, July 24. Work will start at 9 a.m. and conclude at 4 p.m. each day.

All work is weather permitting.

Crews will replace overhead street lights with LED street lights on the bridge.

To ensure public and worker safety, one-way traffic controls will be in effect. Crews will alternate lane closures in both eastbound and westbound directions. This will allow one lane on the bridge to remain open during the work. Flaggers will help direct traffic. Motorists should expect delays and allow for extra travel time.

Please drive cautiously and leave a safe traveling distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you.

Caltrans appreciates your patience as we work to maintain California’s bridges.

For boat and ship traffic, the bridge will operate normally for any vessels passing underneath it along Three Mile Slough.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Highway 160 Closures for Three Mile Slough Bridge Work Cancelled This Week

SACRAMENTO COUNTY – The threat of more wet weather has prompted the cancellation of overnight closures this week on State Highway 160 between Rio Vista and Antioch, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) announced today. Three Mile Slough Bridge will be open until at least Saturday, March 8.

Work started February 3 on the $2.98 million project at Three Mile Slough Bridge to replace the bridge deck and rehabilitate the control house. The contractor has been authorized for up to 55 consecutive nights of closures to complete the work. Caltrans advises local motorists and residents to follow us on social media for the latest schedule updates.

The highway is scheduled to be closed nightly from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. at Wilbur Avenue, south of the Antioch Toll Bridge, and at the junction with State Highway 12 in Rio Vista, weather permitting. Roadside message boards will be used to alert motorists of the closures and signed detours will be in place, but some motorists may need to drive as much as an additional 80 miles, or about two extra hours, to reach their destination.
