Nevada County, California Bridges: Dog Bar Road Bridge across the Bear River

December 2012 (39.0627 Degrees, -121.0030 Degrees) Dog Bar Road Bridge

On the border between Placer and Nevada Counties, across the Bear River, is the Dog Bar Road Bridge (17C0031). It is a four span steel girder bridge that was built in 1935 and rehabilitated in 2000 (the barrier rail looks new).

For a single lane bridge it carries a lot of traffic (over 1000 vehicles a day). While I was photographing the bridge, groups of cyclists rode by and people living in the hills drove across the bridge in pickup trucks.

Nothing very remarkable about this bridge other than the tall pier wall in the middle of the river.
