Amador County Bridges: State Route 124 Highway Bridge across Dry Creek (1)

March 2013 (38.42888 Degrees, -120.87667 Degrees) Dry Creek Bridge

From my house it's a 25 mile drive east on the Jackson Highway (State Route 16) to Amador County. Just past the county line the East Plymouth Highway (State Route 124) goes southwest and the Golden Chain Highway (State Route 49) goes southeast from the Jackson Highway (see Google earth photo below). Last week we looked at some bridges built in 2007 on S.R. 49. Today we are going to look at a bridge that was rebuilt in 2007 on S.R. 124. However, unlike the prestressed concrete bridges we previously visited, the Dry Creek Bridge (26 0028) is a continuous span steel girder bridge. We'll take a closer look at it tomorrow.
