El Dorado County, California Bridges: Sand Ridge Road Bridge across the North Fork of the Cosumnes River

February 2013 (38.5892 Degrees, -120.8447 Degrees) Sand Ridge Road Bridge

We are going back to the Consumnes River but this time we're going to take the North Fork to the east. The first bridge across the North Fork is the Sand Ridge Road Bridge (25C0100). It is a two span continuous box girder bridge built in 1985. Each span is 22.9 m long and they are supported by a pier wall and seat type abutments. There are some kind of metal elements going from the supports to girder overhangs. I don't know what they are for, unless they have something to do with all the swallow nests that have been built on the bridge.
