About the Project
Oakland’s Embarcadero Bridge over Lake Merritt Channel was selected to receive structural
improvements in order to increase its earthquake resistance as part of the California Department
of Transportation (Caltrans) bridge inspection program.
CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE June 2015 — June 2017
Project Details
»» The new bridge will be wider (59 feet versus the
current 37 feet). In addition to 12- foot vehicle
travel lanes in each direction, it will provide a 6-foot
bike lane/shoulder in each direction, a 5-foot wide
sidewalk on the north side, and a 12-foot wide
multi-use path on the Estuary side. This expansion
will allow for continuity of pedestrian and bicycle
access along the waterfront and Bay Trail.
»» The project will also have new street lighting,
landscaping, new restroom facilities, and planted
rainwater treatment areas at both ends to improve
water quality.
»» The project complements the City’s Measure DD
vision of improving water quality and pedestrian,
bike and recreational access to Lake Merritt, the
Lake Merritt Channel, and the Estuary.
»» A new traffic signal at 5th Avenue, as part of
Embarcadero Roadway Improvements, will greatly
improve traffic flow in the area.
