Santa Clara County, California Bridges: Alum Rock Park Bridges across Upper Penitencia Creek

May 2014 (37.39386 Degrees -121.81464 Degrees) Upper Penitencia Creek Bridges

I'll end our visit to Alum Rock Park with a couple more bridges. I don't even know if these bridges have formal names but they all cross Upper Penitencia Creek (the lower tributary is called Milpitas Creek).  More information about the park can be found on Wikepedia. The bridge shown above is a closed spandrel arch with a pretty baluster rail made of stones. The bridge below is a shallower arch supported on interestingly-shaped abutments. It just shows the variety of expression that is possible on these small stone arch bridges.
