The City of Santa Monica, in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), is reconstructing the California Incline Bridge to meet current seismic standards.
The incline extends a distance of approximately 1,400 feet from the intersection of Ocean and California Avenues at the top of the Palisades bluffs to the Pacific Coast Highway at the base of the bluffs.
The bridge portion of the incline is 750 feet long and currently consists of an 8” concrete slab supported on transverse floor beams made of concrete.
