Trancas Creek Bridge Plans To Be Unveiled At 6 Tonight On WebEx
Written by 991KBU on July 15, 2020
In 1926 … the state Highway Department built a bridge across Trancas Lagoon.
Just after World War 2 … the state widened that two lane bridge … into the structure that’s there now.
The concrete is crumbling.
The supports are so shallow that there are electronic sensors on the bridge … feeding data via satellite … to detect if it is in danger of collapse.
The railing is way too low … some guy sitting on it to watch fireworks fell off and broke his back 10 years ago.
Construction on a new bridge is supposed to start next winter.
Caltrans and the City of Malibu will unveil plans for the new bridge … tonight at 6 on a computer meeting.
