Trancas Creek Bridge Project– Malibu, CA

Summit Environmental Contractors is completing work for the Caltrans District 7 Trancas Creek Bridge Project. This includes removing and disposing of 1,500 tons of aerially contaminated lead, field testing and screening of disturbed soils, air monitoring, engineering support and site management.

The existing 96-year-old, 85-foot wide, 90-foot-long concrete bridge, which was constructed in 1927 to span Trancas Creek on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, is being replaced with a new concrete bridge which will be 105 feet wide by 240 feet long. The new bridge will provide:

  • Two 12-foot traffic lanes
  • Bike lanes & separate pedestrian lanes
  • 10-foot shoulders in each direction to substantially improve efficiency and safety for the community
  • Northbound and southbound traffic will be separated by a six-foot striped median

The source of the contaminated soil was from the use of lead-based fuel. By removing this hazardous material, Summit is preventing toxic waste from migrating into the groundwater and beaches, eliminating carbon emissions, protecting construction workers from health hazards, and creating a healthier community for families.

Pershing Drive Bikeway Project – San Diego, CA

Summit Environmental Contractors will be providing environmental consulting and contract services for the Pershing Drive Bikeway Project located in San Diego, California. The Pershing Drive Bikeway Project will feature a modernized road by improving bikeway and roadway lane safety by resurfacing and widening them and also the addition of a roundabout and median that will significantly reduce the chance of vehicle and pedestrian collisions.

The work includes hazardous soil handling and profiling, lead awareness training, excavation and transportation planning, water pollution control and air monitoring. By removing contaminated soil that build up from leaded gasoline and emissions, we prevent any toxins from infecting nearby bodies of water and also prevent the toxins from migrating into the groundwater supply.  Summit’s lead awareness training and air monitoring prepares and protects construction workers from health hazards and ensures a safer environment for the community during the project and future.
