Napa County, California Bridges: Pope Canyon Trail across Pope Creek

December 2013 (38.64688 Degrees, -122.36591 Degrees) Pope Canyon Trail Bridge

There's an interesting old bridge that used to carry Pope Canyon Road but that road was realigned in 1986 and so now the bridge carries Pope Canyon Trail. This arch bridge across Pope Creek is 45 ft long and only 16 ft wide. It's a concrete deck arch with stone masonry abutments.  

The new Pope Canyon Road Bridge (21C0118) is a very ordinary two span precast I girder bridge supported by a pier wall and seat-type abutments built in 1986. The spans are 114 ft long, its on a 35 degree skew, and it only carries about 250 vehicles a day.
