A plan to raise a bridge in a flood-prone area of Highway 37 in Marin County is in line for a $25 million funding boost. The Transportation Authority of Marin is set to transfer the funds to the California Department of Transportation for the Novato Creek Bridge replacement project. The funds are part of the county’s share of Regional Measure 3 bridge toll revenue administered by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. … The project is expected to withstand sea-level rise projections through 2050 and improve travel time and reliability. Construction is expected to begin in the fall and continue through winter 2030.
