Caltrans District 1 will host a public scoping meeting for the proposed Ferndale Access Project on Thursday, March 26, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Ferndale City Hall, 834 Main St.
The meeting will give community members a chance to learn about early project concepts and provide input as environmental studies begin. The project is exploring long-term options to maintain reliable access to the City of Ferndale, including a structurally resilient bridge that meets modern design standards and helps reduce the risk of damage from future seismic events.
Fernbridge, built in 1911, is a historic landmark spanning the Eel River and serves as a vital connection between Ferndale, U.S. 101, and communities across the North Coast. Caltrans staff will be available at the meeting to answer questions and discuss the environmental review process.
