SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - The City of San Luis Obispo announced Friday it has successfully replaced the Marsh Street Bridge which is located between Osos Street and Santa Rosa Street at the San Luis Obispo Creek crossing.
The bridge stood in San Luis Obispo for over a century, but in 2008, was deemed structurally deficient after a bridge inspection by Caltrans. Crews determined a repair or replacement was necessary and the project began in January 2020.
Revitalization of the bridge, a historic corridor into Downtown San Luis Obispo, is part of the City’s ongoing efforts towards Downtown Vitality.
