County supervisors voted unanimously on 9/16 to move forward with replacing the Goleta Beach Park bridge, with construction expected to start in the spring and finish by the end of 2016. Paid for with state and federal monies, the new bridge will be built just west of the existing bridge, which will remain open during construction. The new bridge will be longer (168 feet versus 137 feet) and provide a wider walkway, which will be positioned next to the bike path.
