Description: The original southbound Jacoby Creek Bridge was constructed in the 1920s as a two-lane highway in both directions and modified in 1956. The old bridge was a three-span structure with pier supports within the creek channel. The new single-span bridge is supported on new abutments with twelve 36-inch-diameter cast-in-steel shell (CISS) piles along the banks of Jacoby Creek. The new bridge carries southbound highway 101 traffic and is approximately 73 feet long and 43 feet wide, approximately four feet wider than the previous bridge. The bridge is raised two feet higher than the previous bridge in anticipation of future sea-level rise issues. The new bridge was built in the highway median, with traffic detoured during the demolition of the old bridge. New bridge abutments and piles were built in the permanent location, and the new bridge was moved from the highway median to the southbound 101 using a jack-and-slide method in mid-2022. The presentation provides design and construction details and lessons learned.
