Conner Creek bridge replacement

Parts of a new bridge are lifted from a truck and lowered into place over Conner Creek at the Conner Creek Road crossing in Junction City on Oct. 29. The new bridge will allow passage of fish whereas the culvert it replaced had become a complete barrier to juvenile fish, according to the project manager, David Colbeck of the Five Counties Salmonid Conservation Program. The work is being done by the Trinity County Department of Transportation. Work on a second Conner Creek crossing at Red Hill Road is planned for next year. The new crossings will also accommodate higher flows. The project is funded by multiple agencies, including the U.S. Forest Service, state Department of Fish and Game, National Marine Fisheries Service and Trinity County. The cost for both Conner Creek sites is to be $450,000.



The second section of the bridge is lifted from the truck, which then pulled away in case the lift went awry.


The third section of the bridge is put in place.
