Rumsey Bridge Project

The Rumsey Bridge Project is currently in the construction phase.  The Rumsey Bridge is located in the Capay Valley on County Road 41 (CR 41) over Cache Creek.  CR 41 is located off of State Route 16 near the town of Rumsey.  The Rumsey Bridge was built in 1930, and lengthened in 1946 after Cache Creek washed out an abutment.  The bridge is now 311 feet long.  The original bridge consists of concrete through-arch spans that are historic in nature, but the 1930-era concrete is in poor condition.  The bridge structure is susceptible to scour from creek flows and the structure does not meet modern seismic standards. 

If you have any questions or comments related to the project, please email Todd Riddiough at todd.riddiough@yolocounty.gov
