Sonoma County, California Bridges: NWP Haystack Landing Bridge across the Petaluma River

August 2014 (38.22820 Degrees, -122.61404 Degrees) Haystack Landing Bridge

Continuing up the Petaluma River we arrived at the NWP Railroad Haystack Landing Bridge. The Bridgehunter writes that this 1903 swing bridge is going to be disassembled and replaced with a newer Scherzer rolling lift bridge. There is no obvious sign of this transformation, although the swing bridge seems to be missing the extra bracing and bridge house over the pivot that we saw on the swing bridge a couple of days ago. Note all the timber piles surrounding the bridge to protect it from collisions.
