Six Photos of: 1-3) Paul’s Slide (PM 21.6) Roadwork on the hillside; 4-6)Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge (PM 45.52)—Photos courtesy of Kyle Evans for Caltrans. 4) North Abutment with wood forms removed as seen from the south. The excavator is back filling dirt on the north side of the concrete. 5) Shallow foundation piles are being put in to support a temporary steel tower to aid in the installation of the new bridge. Once the piles are done, a concrete foundation will be poured over them. In the background, one column of the failed Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge is left helping to hold back the bank. All of this will be removed once the new bridge is in place. 6) Piles of form wood removed from the north abutment are prepared and cleaned up to be reused for the form of the south abutment.
*A news release is attached and shown at bottom of email of next convoy for Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge—scheduled for Thursday, June 15.*

CALTRANS ANNOUNCES NEXT CONVOY TO PFEIFFER CANYON BRIDGE
MONTEREY COUNTY – Caltrans will continue the process of delivering construction equipment and materials to the site of the demolished Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge on State Route 1 via Nacimiento-Fergusson Road from US Highway 101 on Thursday, June 15. Some equipment will begin moving out one piece at a time, throughout the week.
These convoys will be escorted by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and will include intermittent closures of Nacimiento-Fergusson Road on Thursday, June 8 from 8 am until 7 pm. Motorists wishing to travel east/west in the morning must do so before the first convoy begins. On Thursday, motorists will encounter delays during the movement of these four convoys westbound from 8 am to 10 am and 2 pm to 4 pm and eastbound from 11 am to 1 pm andfrom5 pm to 7 pm. All vehicles must not exceed 30 feet in length and a weight of 15 tons.
The Thursday convoy again will include rock, sand, cement and reinforcing steel. Future convoys will include more of the same, in general, materials and equipment to construct the abutment support and overall construction of the new Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge (PM 45.52).
The steel girders for the new bridge continue being fabricated at a plant in Vallejo, CA. They have begun being moved to a plant near Stockton for painting before they are shipped to Pfeiffer Canyon. This $24 million project is expected to be open to the public in mid to late September.
Caltrans reminds motorists to move over and slow down when driving through highway
