Santa Cruz County, California Bridges: State Route 9 Highway Bridge and SCBG Railway Bridge across Rincon Gulch

March 2014 (37.00556-122.04500) Rincon Gulch Bridges
A concrete T girder highway bridge and a timber trestle railway bridge were built side by side across Rincon Gulch in Big Trees State Park. 
The Rincon Gulch Highway Bridge (36 0037) carries State Route 9 on a three span T girder superstructure with two column bents that were built in 1930 and retrofitted with infill walls in 1996.
The timber trestle bridge includes a steel girder span over a dirt road that rests on a steel tower pier to help support the near side.
