Calaveras County, California Bridges: California Street Bridge across San Andreas Creek

April 2013 (38.19694 Degrees, -120.67944 Degrees) San Andreas Creek Bridge

The next bridge is called a three span culvert by the National Bridge Inventory. However, to my mind a culvert has some earth between the roof and the roadway, Also, because it's 37 ft long, it's long enough to be called a bridge. I would call it a three span continuous slab bridge on pier walls with cutwaters. The handrail is a little disappointing though.

The California Street Bridge across San Andreas Creek is in the old gold mining town of San Andreas. It was built in 1953, it has a sufficiency rating of 83, and it carries 200 vehicles a day.
