Preservation Urgent Alert!

Caltrans intends to remove and replace the stone rails of the York Creek Bridge (near Beringer Vineyards) and the Sulphur Creek Bridge (near Gott’s Roadside) in St. Helena.

Both of these bridges have served the community well for over a century, and can continue if Caltrans leaves them in place. There are irreplaceable parts of the unique cultural heritage of both St Helena and Napa County.

Public comments on these projects should be sent by by Nov. 19th to:

Nathan Roberts, Associate Environmental Planner

P.O. Box 23660, Office of Environmental Analysis, MS-8B,
