Construction of the new span started less than five months after the old bridge closed. The design was a simple 1,000-foot concrete bridge replacing the asphalt-topped, steel and concrete structure, and working within the footprint of the existing bridge. Old Douglas fir pilings, which were sunk 25 feet, were replaced with steel pilings driven 100 feet into the river bed. Pre-cast, 100-foot concrete girders were laid across the new pilings and topped with a six-inch concrete roadway. Construction crews worked 10-hour days, six days per week. The work was spurred by the emergency nature of the project, paving the way for a quicker environmental review, design and fast-tracking of the permit process.

By fast-tracking the permit process, using pre-cast girders, readily-available materials, and staying within the existing alignment, the link between east and west Geyserville opened four months ahead of schedule. This was in time for the start of school, holding true to a commitment C.C. Myers, Inc. made to the community of Geyserville before construction began. The bridge is 1,000 feet long, has two 12-foot lanes, two 8-foot shoulders, and a five-foot pedestrian walkway. A Cost Reduction Incentive Proposal initiated by C. C. Myers, Inc. to change the design of the superstructure was approved by Caltrans and resulted in significant savings to both parties.
