West Marin bridge plan heads to California Coastal Commission

The California Department of Transportation has completed the final design of a long-planned project to replace the Lagunitas Creek Bridge in West Marin.

The 95-year-old crossing on Highway 1 serves as the gateway to Point Reyes Station. The bridge, which is also known as “the green bridge,” crosses the creek just north of the Sir Francis Drake Boulevard turn toward Inverness and the coast.

About 35 residents attended a recent meeting at the Dance Palace in Point Reyes Station to learn more about the project.
