Sonoma County, California Bridges: Melita Road Bridge across Santa Rosa Creek

August 2014 (38.45583 Degrees, -122.63583 Degrees ) Melita Road Bridge

A couple of miles west of the O'Donnell Lane Bridge is the Melita Road Bridge (20C0186) across Santa Rosa Creek. Unlike yesterday's bridge this structure is very plain, covered in lichen, and surrounded by dense vegetation. One nice aesthetic feature are the impressive barriers with their massive end posts. At one end of the barrier a plaque was mounted that gives the names of the County Board of Supervisors and concludes with "Designed by F. W. Maurice, Eng., Built by Call Construction Co., 1915." These plaques call out from the past "Look what we've created!"
