Sacramento County, California Bridges: Puente de la Casa de los Gobneradores

January 2014 (38.60537 Degrees, -121.32490 Degrees) Puente de la Casa de los Gobneradores

Near my house is a gated community with several covered bridges. The subdivision is called La Casa de Los Gobernadores, and includes the governor's mansion which was sold by the state in 1982. All of the houses are made of the same stained timber as the bridges, giving the community a uniform and subdued appearance.

Unlike older covered bridges these structures are steel stringer bridges with a timber facade. The subdivision is similar to Disneyland with simple structures decorated to evoke a sense of nostalgia.
