Goleta Beach Bridge Update

Source: County of Santa Barbara

Last week at the Goleta Beach Project, contractor MCM Construction completed the 10-inch fire hydrant water line tie in. this week. The contractor has also backfilled (placed approved material and compacted) against the backwalls of the bridge.

This week, the contractor will work on the soldier pile retaining wall. This wall consists of vertical steel beams and horizontal timber that retain the soil on one side. Concrete will be poured next to the timber to create the front of the wall. The attached picture shows the soldier pile wall not long after the timber lagging was placed between the steel piles.

The contractor will continue to provide traffic control on Sandspit Road to ensure the safety of the traveling public.
