Placer County, California Bridges: Ponderosa Way Bridge across the North Fork of the American River (1)

November 2012 (39.0001 Degrees, -120.940 Degrees) Ponderosa Way Bridge

The next river crossing as we continue downstream is the Ponderosa Way Bridge. It includes an interesting pony truss superstructure with the deck located a little bit above the bottom chord. We'll take a closer look at this bridge tomorrow.

In the Google earth photo above we can see the location of the Ponderosa Way Bridge along with all the other bridges upstream on the North Fork of the American River (including the Palisade Creek and Soda Spring Bridges that we haven't visited).
