Placer County, California Bridges: Yankee Jim's Bridge across the North Fork of the American River (5)

August 2012 (39.04000 Degrees, -120.90278 Degrees) Yankee Jim's Bridge

The next downstream crossing is Yankee Jim's Bridge. All of these suspension bridges have extra long floor beams so diagonal braces can provide lateral support for the bridge railing. I wonder why Placer County allows these river crossings to deteriorate while they spend $60 million to upgrade the Foresthill Bridge?
