NORTHERN CALIFORNIA-SACRAMENTO RIVER-TOWER BRIDGE-The lift span of the bridge will be secured in the closed-to-navigation position for electrical rehabilitation from August 3 through October 18, 2026. When closed the bridge provides 29 feet of vertical clearance at mean high water. Vessels able to transit the bridge while closed can continue to do so at any time. The span will not be able to open for any reason during this time. Temporary underdeck platforms will be installed east of the east tower and west of the west tower and will be higher than the lowest hittable portion of the bridge at those sites. The upriver and downriver lower edges of the platform will be lighted at night with steady burning red lights. At no time will the temporary platforms be installed beneath the main (lift) span. For on-site conditions contact Caltrans at 916-869-0600 or the contractor at 925-250-2027. For further information contact the Coast Guard Bridge Office at 510-219-4366.
