The project, located at I-5 and Wheeler Ridge Road, consisted of
constructing a new two-span cast-in-place pro-stressed concrete box girder
structure over I-5. The structure, approximately 109 meters long and 15.3
meters wide with vertical curve from flat to almost 2.5 M lower, was
constructed adjacent and near parallel to an existing four-span welded-
steel plate girder structure. Caltrans oversight stated after completion -
