The Federal Highway Administration awarded the California Department of Transportation $4.506350 million on September 17, 2025, under the Bridge Formula Program (CFDA 20.263) to rehabilitate and reconstruct State Route 80 in Placer County, California.

The work spans three segments: near Applegate from east of Crother Road Overcrossing to east of Weimar Overhead; near Magra from post-mile 39.4 to 41.5; and near Emigrant Gap from post-mile 52.8 to 55.2. Caltrans will rehabilitate roadway, construct truck climbing lanes in the eastbound direction, widen shoulders, replace or widen structures, and upgrade median barrier and transportation management system elements. Two bridge replacements are included: Blue Canyon Road Undercrossing (Bridge 19-0224R) and Weimar Overcrossing (Bridge 19-0082).

Period of performance runs through June 30, 2031. Performance takes place in California.

The Bridge Formula Program, established under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, funds bridge replacement, rehabilitation, preservation, protection, and construction on public roads. Funding is apportioned to states via a formula based on the relative costs of replacing bridges in poor condition and rehabilitating those in fair condition.
