Stanislaus County, California Bridges: Roberts Ferry Road Bridge across the Tuolumne River (2)

September 2014 (37.63585 Degrees, -120.61822 Degrees) Roberts Ferry Road Bridge

Basically, the Robert's Ferry Bridge is a cast in place box girder bridge supporting a timber structure. Probably not too many bridge enthusiasts would be happy with its form or its function. Not only does the bridge have to support the dead and live load, but it has to support the additional dead load of the roof on its main span. As can be seen below, the wooden structure is being supported by the concrete barrier.
