Sacramento County, California Bridges: Bicycle and Railroad Bridges across Willow Creek

September 2013 (38.6681 Degrees, -121.1421 Degrees) Willow Creek Bridges

Continuing on the Jebediah Smith Auxiliary Bike Trail I came upon many Glulam bike bridges and timber railroad bridges side by side as Willow Creek jogged back and forth over what used to be the railroad right of way. The Glulam beam easily spanned the creek (for pedestrian loads) but the timber railroad beam needed support at mid-span (to carry railway live loads).
