Placer County, California Bridges: Ponderosa Way Bridge across the North Fork of the American River (3)

November 2012 (39.0001 Degrees, -120.940 Degrees) Ponderosa Way Bridge

Another view of the Ponderosa Way Bridge. The sharp horizontal curve may explain why the bridge got an unsatisfactory roadway alignment appraisal during its last inspection. However, the rest of the inspection was surprisingly favorable. The plans show the 12 ft wide bridge was designed by the U.S. Forest Service for an H-15 truck in 1935.
