Apr. 8—Caltrans announced on Monday that State Route 20 will be completely closed to traffic at the Meridian Bridge from 9 a.m. to noon on Wednesday near the border of Sutter and Colusa counties.

Encouraging the use of alternative routes, officials said the closure is taking place because of the annual inspection of the Meridian Bridge, which crosses over the Sacramento River.

"Caltrans bridge inspectors play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and integrity of over 26,000 bridges owned by the state of California and local government agencies," officials said.
