This project is funded under the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Highway Bridge Program (HBP) to upgrade the safety of bridge barrier systems of two existing bridge structures.  The project was re-initiated and funds re-obligated in 2009 after losing its initial funding due to project delivery issues.  The preliminary engineering phase of the project is now complete and the project has received, through Caltrans, the required Federal Authorization to Proceed with Construction and to advertise the project.
