Yolo County, California Bridges: Stevenson Road Bridge across Putah Creek (3)

July 2013 (38.53682, -121.851245) Stevenson Road Bridge
The arches on the Stevenson Road Bridge are supported on tall two column bents and the deck is supported by transverse floor beams between girders that are extensions of the barriers.
A strange thing about this bridge is that it is decorated with lots of graffiti and also with personalized plaques at the bottom of each spandrel column. Not only are there plaques with bas reliefs of frogs, turtles, and fishes, but there are also plaques testifying to love of alcohol and of bicycles.
