According to Caltrans, a new bridge on piles will be built on the portion of the highway where a part of a lane collapsed into a creek earlier this year.
"Work is scheduled to complete by the end of the year. Every effort will be made to open both lanes of Niles Canyon Road as soon as November if possible. Unforeseeable events such as rain will affect the schedule," Caltrans said.
