The next Mokelumne River Crossing is the Middle Bar Bridge (30C0016), a single span truss bridge.  It's 20 ft wide, 210 ft long, and has a 14.5 ft vertical clearance. The Middle Bar Bridge is a 10 panel, pin connected, Pratt through truss built by the Clinton Bridge and Iron Works of Clinton Iowa in 1912. We'll take a closer look at this interesting bridge tomorrow.
