Scope Of Work
The Big Bear Bridge replacement project along California State Route 18 is located in the San Bernardino Mountains, nestled in a valley surrounded by steep terrain and an environmentally sensitive wilderness. Now a popular year round resort destination, the community of Big Bear wanted a signature bridge to complement its history and location. For almost 20 years, local and state officials debated how to fix the bridge that provided access to the Big Bear community. Several times annually during severe snowfall events, the nearly 100-year-old bridge iced over and was closed, devastating local businesses.
