THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT/STATUTORY EXEMPTION : SAN FRANCISCO-OAKLAND BAY BRIDGE EAST SPANS SEISMIC SAFETY PROJECT

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to retrofit or replace the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge (SFOBB) East Span. This Final Environmental Impact Statement has been prepared for the purpose of analyzing potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts of several possible replacement bridge alternatives, as well as a retrofit of the existing structure and no-build alternatives. From twelve initial alternatives, in addition to the No-Build Alternative, that were considered during the scoping phase of the project, five alternatives including the No-Build Alternative were carried forward for the detailed analysis in the EIS. The report presents three replacement alternatives, a no-build alternative, and a retrofit of the existing structure alternative.
