Status of Construction: During the months of July, August and September the Contractor continued work on the bridge superstructure, which consists of the bridge soffit, girders and deck that span over the Kings River. During this time approximately 2,700 cubic yards of concrete were placed, which includes a majority of the superstructure concrete. By the end of October, the remainder of the superstructure concrete will be placed, which includes about 350 cubic yards of concrete for the sidewalk and overhang areas of the bridge. Once all of the superstructure concrete is in place and has reached sufficient strength, approximately five hundred thirty (530), six tenths of an inch (0.6") diameter steel strands will be pushed through 4-inch diameter ducts within the bridge girders throughout the length of the bridge and tensioned to a load of approximately 44,000 lbs each, which will compress the bridge structure and cause the steel strands to elongate approximately 4-feet! The "post-tensioned" steel serves as the most critical structural element in the bridge, and once it is in place and tensioned (scheduled for early November), the bridge will be self supporting and be able to support all highway legal vehicle loads.

 The Government Finance Officers Association has awarded the City of Dinuba with the 2013 Distinguished Budget Presentation Award. This award is the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting and only a select few cities across the country are selected to receive it.

Scheduled to begin construction in January 2014, the El Monte Way widening project is one of the largest capital projects the City of Dinuba has ever done; with construction costs exceeding $19 million and a total project budget of $35 million.
