Shimmick Construction Company, Inc. announced on December 2, 2024, that it has been awarded a $45.4 million contract for extensive seismic retrofitting and improvements to the Murray Street Bridge at the Santa Cruz Small Craft Harbor. This project aims to enhance the bridge's seismic resilience and improve accessibility for cyclists and pedestrians.
The comprehensive scope of work includes the installation of new piles, extended pile caps, new columns, and bent caps. The upgraded bridge will feature wider bike lanes and a new, dedicated sidewalk along the south side. Additionally, existing concrete barriers will be replaced with see-through barrier rails to improve harbor and ocean views while maintaining safety.
Ural Yal, CEO of Shimmick, stated that this project exemplifies the company's commitment to delivering critical infrastructure that improves public safety and connectivity. Shimmick has a history of delivering similar bridge retrofit and replacement projects throughout California, including the Caltrans Dumbarton Bridge Seismic Retrofit and the Port of San Francisco Illinois Street Intermodal Bridge.
