El Dorado County, California Bridges: Lotus Road Bridges across Weber Creek

February 2013 (38.7399 Degrees, -120.9339 Degrees) Lotus Road Bridges
There is a rather pretty older slab bridge (now closed) and a modern box girder bridge that both cross Weber Creek at Lotus Road. The open bridge is a two span river crossing on seat-type abutments and a single pier wall that was built in 1987. The closed bridge is behind the fence of the Sierra Rock Quarry. It sits on big pier walls and abutments all covered in moss, which was the result of 90 years of floods. You can see in the photo that the new bridge is much taller and also much cleaner.
