RIO VISTA, CA – Starting this weekend, the Rio Vista Bridge (Helen Madere Memorial Bridge) on State Route 12 will undergo a series of six scheduled 56-hour weekend closures for critical repairs, according to Caltrans. The $27.2 million project, funded by the Bridge Rehabilitation and Replacement Program, will replace the bridge’s movable deck span, repair mechanical components, and install new steel stringers. Closures are planned from 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday, between March and June. These closures are necessary due to the bridge’s limited width for heavy equipment access. Motorists should plan ahead and check Caltrans’ QuickMap for updates. Full project completion is expected by late summer.
