McCANN BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The County plans to replace the low-water crossing with a full-height, full-service bridge that allows residents, emergency vehicles, and resource equipment year-round access across the Eel River. To design this modern, safe bridge, the County has enlisted the help of Consor.
The McCann Bridge Replacement Project will replace a County-operated ferry service. Completion of the replacement bridge will enable residents to cross the river any time of the year without having to depend on the ferry.
Over the next several years, the County and Consor team will work together to design and construct the new bridge, which also involves obtaining environmental clearance and a variety of regulatory agency permits.
