Amador County, California Bridges: Bridges across the South Fork of Jackson Creek

April 2013, South Fork Jackson Creek Bridges
The City of Jackson has many bridges because Jackson Creek and all of its tributaries go through town.  All the bridges that face State Route 49/88 have that creepy-looking stone facade on the barrier.
Because Jackson was settled during the Gold Rush, many of these bridges are old. For instance, the South Fork Jackson Creek Bridge (26C0004) shown below was built in 1925. It's a 8.7 meter long single span steel girder bridge carrying South Avenue.
Continuing upstream, the next South Fork Jackson Creek Bridge (26C0035) shown below was built in 1949. It's an 8.9 meter long single span steel girder bridge that carries French Bar Road and was built in 1949.
Further upstream, the next South Fork Jackson Creek Bridge (26C0049) is a three span continuous concrete slab that carries Mission Blvd and was built in 2005.
