Construction Contract
The City of Manhattan Beach has awarded a construction contract to C.A. Rasmussen for the construction of the Sepulveda Bridge Widening Project for $8,791,039.70, which is fully funded with grant monies. The Project is located on Sepulveda Boulevard between Rosecrans Avenue and 33rd Street. The Project includes widening the east side of the bridge to provide one additional northbound lane on Sepulveda Boulevard, a shoulder varying from two to eight feet on the east side of the bridge, and six foot wide sidewalks. Seismic retrofits of the existing bridge will also be completed, and the bridge railings in both northbound and southbound directions will also be upgraded. Landscaping will be provided in the project area, mostly for the purpose of slope stabilization.
The work is expected to start in September 2020 and be completed in spring 2022. Allowable construction hours are 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Saturdays. However, the contractor will be required to refrain from closing any northbound lanes prior to 9:00 AM. Please note that limited nighttime work will occur for specific construction activities in order to ensure the safety of the commuters and workers, as required by Caltrans on its Right-of-Way Permit and plan approvals. The construction activities that will be required to occur at night include removing existing striping, placing traffic signal equipment, removing and reconstructing the median, installing bridge approach slabs, constructing driveways, placing the polyester concrete overlay on the bridge, and slurry sealing activities.
