December 2013 (38.51117 Degrees, -122.45581 Degrees) Pope Street Bridge |
The Pope Street Bridge is 177 ft long but only 18 ft wide. It was built by R. H. Pithie in 1894 for horse-drawn carriages but it's strong enough to handle the 3000 trucks and cars that drive over it every day (with a sufficiency rating of 50). The bridge was put into the National Register in 1972. The stone came from the Wing Quarry which supplied many of the surviving stone structures in this part of Napa County.
