MONTEREY COUNTY – In response to inquiries from community members, Caltrans would like to reassure the public that the bridge across the Salinas River on US 101 in Soledad is stable and the roadway will remain open even as levels of the river are forecast to rise.
When high flow events occur, Caltrans engineering and structural teams will continue to monitor this bridge as well as others along the Salinas River corridor. This monitoring effort is for data collection purposes and there is no threat to the Salinas River Bridge in Soledad at this time.
While there may be flooding of adjacent roadways, the bridge across the Salinas River on US 101 in Soledad is higher than the surrounding land and will remain open through this event.
