Amador County, California Bridges: Utility Bridge across Sutter Creek in Ione

March 2013 (38.35037 Degrees, -120.94790 Degrees) Sutter Creek Utility Bridge

Jackson Creek runs south of Ione while Sutter Creek runs through the middle of town, and Mule Creek and Dry Creek run north of town.

Not only are there a lot of road and foot bridges in Ione, but there are also a couple of utility bridges. However, instead of the nice truss utility bridges we saw in Japan, these are through girder bridges and the girders looked older than the utility pipes. I wonder if these low bridges get topped during the spring floods? They must be well anchored by the abutments and by the pipe in the ground at each end of the bridge.
