Sacramento County, California Bridges; Ione Road Bridge across Willow Creek

April 2013 (38.41583 Degrees, -121.03889 Degrees) Ione Road Bridge

Today we'll begin exploring the bridges in southern Sacramento County. Crossing the line from Amador into Sacramento County on Ione Road we came to a bridge over Willow Creek.

The Ione Road Bridge (24C0330) is a three span reinforced concrete slab bridge that was built in 1950. It replaced an older bridge that crossed Willow Creek a little east of the current bridge. They must have built the new bridge to the west, realigned the road, and then tore down the old bridge. The abutments of the old bridge were left in place.
