El Dorado, California Bridges: Route 49 Bridge across Weber Creek

February 2013 (38.708 Degrees, -120.812 Degrees) Route 49 Bridge
The next bridge over Weber Creek is a one span reinforced concrete box girder structure that carries State Route 49. It's strange that a 110 year old railway viaduct, a 99 year old arch bridge, a 75 year old haunched girder highway bridge, a modern highway bridge, and this tiny structure were all built to cross the same creek within a few miles of each other.

The State Route 49 bridge over Weber Creek is 27.7 m (91 ft) long and it was built in 1967.
