Yolo County, California Bridges: Stevenson Road Bridge across Putah Creek (2)

July 2013 (38.53682, -121.851245) Stevenson Road Bridge

The Stevenson Road Bridge is near the campus of UC Davis, which may explain why it so well decorated with graffiti. In fact, I noticed many bike trails and college-aged bicyclists when I visited this bridge.

The bridge is similar to the previously visited Cache Creek Arch Bridge, but this bridge is in slightly better condition. Also, the Cache Creek Bridge appeared to have precast approach spans while the Stevenson Bridge has cast-in-place approach spans.

The Stevenson Road Bridge is 298 ft long with two 108 ft long arch spans. The deck is in poor condition and too narrow so it was evaluated as structurally deficient. The bridge site is so densely vegetated, and with so much poison oak, that I wasn't able to take a good elevation view of the bridge.
