Stevenson Bridge Reopens After Rehabilitation, Protecting Putah Creek Salmon Run
What happened
The Stevenson Bridge, which spans Putah Creek between Yolo and Solano counties, is set to reopen after five months of rehabilitation work. The $8.3 million project included seismic upgrades, foundation work, and concrete repairs. Officials confirmed that the work would not interfere with the annual salmon run in Putah Creek.

Why it matters
The rehabilitation involved a significant infrastructure investment in the bridge. The bridge crosses Putah Creek, which is a source of water for Solano County. The completion of the project ensures continued traffic access across the creek.
Monticello Dam, located in Solano County, currently receives water from the Solano Project and relies on the flow of Putah Creek.
