# Mosquito Road Bridge inaugurated in Califorina

SYSTRA IBT, together with Consor, was responsible for the preliminary design,
the detailed design of the deck and piers, and the review of the foundation and
abutment designs for this structure, which is 360 metres long and has a main
span of 163 metres.

## A bridge that will benefit all road traffic

This new bridge will provide a safer and more direct link between the rural
Swansboro area and the town of Placerville. It will also serve as a new access
route for emergency services and as an essential evacuation route in the event
of a fire or an earthquake in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.

The Mosquito Road Bridge replaces the historic one-lane wooden suspension bridge
opened in 1939, which is now closed to vehicles. The original bridge is now
reserved for active modes of transport – pedestrians and cyclists – ensuring
they can cross safely and peacefully.
