El Dorado County, California Bridges: Salmon Falls Road Bridge over the South Fork of the American River (2)

August 2005 (38.773 Degrees, -121.036 Degrees) Salmon Falls Road Bridge
A closer look at the Salmon Falls Road Bridge. I took this photo with a Nikon SLR on a tripod instead of my usual point and shoot camera. I don't know if that is the reason but the colors seem richer in this photo.

The long shadows at the fasteners suggest that bolts were used instead of rivets, which makes sense for a bridge built in 1953. For such an old bridge, it still looks brand new. El Dorado County must do a good job of maintaining its bridges.
