U.S. 1/S.R. 5 Earman River Bridge Replacement Project: Work Activities

Phase 3 Work Activities:

• Placement of rip-rap (erosion control measures) along the south bank.
• Crews will begin preparing bridge piles for upcoming pile cap concrete pours.

Traffic Impacts:

• Southbound U.S. 1/S.R. 5 Earman River Bridge traffic from just south of Anchorage Drive to Northlake Boulevard will be shifted to the new northbound bridge to safely facilitate the construction of the new southbound portion of the bridge.
• Two travel lanes will be open in each direction on the northbound portion of the bridge.
• Pedestrian detours and signage will direct pedestrians to the sidewalk located on the east side of the bridge.
• Pedestrians should not use any portion of the west side of the bridge to cross under any circumstances, even when no workers are present. This area is an active construction zone and is unsafe for pedestrian access.
• Access to all businesses and residences on the west side of U.S. 1/S.R. 5 will remain open.
• This traffic shift will remain in place until Spring 2027.
• The southbound outside lane of U.S. 1/S.R. 5 from Anchorage Drive to Northlake Boulevard will have intermittent closures, Tuesday through Friday, from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m., to facilitate material deliveries and roadway construction activities safely.

Bicyclist: Southbound and northbound bike lanes end at the intersection of U.S. 1/S.R. 5 and Northlake Boulevard to U.S. 1/S.R. 5 and Anchorage Drive.

Marine Impacts:
The Earman River channel will be closed through Spring 2027 to facilitate construction activities safely. Mariners may take an alternate route to the Intracoastal Waterway north to the Lighthouse Bridge.
