About the Mare Island Bridge
If you work or live nearby Mare Island, then you’ve probably crossed this bridge. The Mare Island Causeway Bridge is located at the north end of the Vallejo Waterfront. This bridge connects Mare Island to the Greater Vallejo area and is accessible to vehicles, pedestrian, and rail traffic.
THE BRIDGE AT A GLANCE:
WHAT’S HAPPENING ON THE BRIDGE?
In 2016, the City of Vallejo completed an upgrade project on the bridge, replacing a 50-foot span of bridge timber with steel. However, the iconic bridge now requires additional maintenance repairs to extend the Bridge’s serviceable life and improve pedestrian and driver safety.
THESE REPAIRS ARE EXPECTED TO INCLUDE:
Bridge deck and pile repairs
Sidewalk replacement and ADA improvements
Lighting and handrail repairs
Repainting the Bridge’s steel lift span, towers, and historic logo
Repairing damaged concrete surfaces
Repairing the fender system that directs ships through the correct opening under the bridge
Replacement of underwater anodes which protect the bridge’s steel against saltwater corrosion
HOW WILL THIS PROJECT IMPACT ME?
The City anticipates that when construction begins, the bridge may experience partial lane closures.
However, the bridge is not anticipated to be fully closed during the project.
Please plan accordingly.
