Contra Costa County Public Works to begin Construction of the Marsh Drive Bridge Replacement Project

June 2, 2021, Concord, CA – Contra Costa County Public Works will begin construction of the Marsh Drive Bridge Replacement Project starting on Monday, June 7, 2021 through January 2023, barring unforeseen circumstances. Work will occur between 7:00 am-4:00 pm, Monday-Friday, weather permitting. Work will take place on Marsh Drive, approximately 0.2 miles west of Solano Avenue, in both unincorporated Contra Costa County and the City of Concord. There will be restrictions to minimize impacts during commute hours. The speed limit through the work area will be 25 mph during construction. Drivers should expect delays. 

The project will include reconstruction of approximately 1,000 feet of Marsh Drive near the bridge, installation of a retaining wall, channel improvements, and relocation of various utilities including water, electric power, and communication facilities. Work includes replacing the existing bridge with a new concrete bridge in a slightly shifted alignment to the north in stages built to current standards. The new bridge will include a 10-foot-wide separated bike and pedestrian facility. 

Funding for this project is provided by Federal Highway Bridge Program Funds, Local Road Funds, Contra Costa County Flood Control District Zone 3B Funds, Pacific Gas & Electric Funds, Contra Costa Water District Funds, and East Bay Regional Park District Funds. 

Additional project information, including construction schedule, is available at www.contracosta.ca.gov/marshdrivebridge

Bay Area Election Officials Join Forces to Assure Public Trust in Elections                                 

Local election officials are your trusted source of non-partisan election information. 

The Registrars of Voters around the bay have created a greater Bay Area coalition to deliver accurate, current, and transparent election information to our nearly five million voters. Our goal is to highlight the security surrounding elections, including the audits we conduct to assure accurate and secure elections. 

We are seeking partnerships with journalists, reporters, and community groups to help us deliver accurate, non-partisan, and timely information regarding elections. 

Democracy is fragile and public trust in elections is essential to, and the hallmark of, a well-functioning system of government.                  

Ongoing disinformation campaigns misguide the public with unfounded claims regarding the certified systems we use to conduct accurate and transparent elections. These malicious efforts erode voters’ trust, faith, and confidence in elections and may dissuade voters from participating in future elections.                                        

Your local county election official is your trusted source of legitimate election information. If you hear questionable claims regarding an election, reach out to your local elections office, so we can clarify it for you. You can also refer to our website and follow our official accounts on social media. For more information, visit our website; BayAreaVotes (www.sccvote.org/bayareavotes) or our Facebook page; Bay Area Votes.
