We maintain 351 bridges across our streets, parks, and neighborhoods. These structures carry people driving, walking, and biking over creeks, railroads, and major corridors.

The Bridge Maintenance Program is responsible for inspecting, repairing, and replacing all city bridges to ensure public safety.

The Department of Transportation (DOT) maintains:

• 220 city street bridges
• 73 pedestrian and three vehicular bridges in partnership with Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services (PRNS)
• 55 bridges, in partnership with Caltrans

City Goals

• Public Safety: Addressing hazards like sinkholes and failing sidewalks
• Seismic Resilience: Using Measure T funds to retrofit bridges vulnerable to earthquakes
• Sustainability: Proactively extending the service life of bridges. This is accomplished through preventative maintenance and targeted rehabilitation
