Dog Bar Road Over Bear River Bridge Replacement Project

The Dog Bar Road Over Bear River Bridge Replacement Project is a construction project that aims to replace the existing bridge over the Bear River. The project was awarded to Viking Construction Company, Inc. for a total amount of $11,145,418.35. The project is primarily funded with Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) Funds and is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2024. The project involves the construction of a new bridge, grading, paving, striping, and removing the existing bridge. The work will be completed in two stages, with a winter suspension in between. • The project is located in southwest Nevada County and connects Nevada County to Placer County. • The existing bridge is structurally deficient and has been the site of multiple accidents. • The new bridge will be constructed while the old bridge remains in place, and the old bridge will be removed upon completion of the new bridge. • The project requires authorization from Caltrans to obtain any additional funds that may be required prior to the award. • The bid documents may be downloaded from the Nevada County website or obtained from the office of the Purchasing Division.
