The existing Santa Paula Creek Bridge consists
of a old steel though truss supported on concrete abutments. The
goals of this project were to reuse the historic bridge structure after
widening the Santa Paula Creek and minimize the down time of the local
railroad company. To accommodate these goals, new concrete
substructures were built under the existing bridge and approaches for a
two span bridge that would reuse the existing steel truss for one
span. A new steel through girder span was constructed for the other
span. The video shows the two-day construction phase where the
existing steel truss was moved to the new substructures and the new
through girder span was placed.
