San Joaquin County, California Bridges: Manthey Road Pedestrian Bridge across the San Joaquin River

April 2014 (37.78593, -121.30706) Manthey Road Pedestrian Bridge

Because the sidewalk on the adjacent Manthey Road Bridge is deteriorated (and because it's next to a park) the county built a pedestrian bridge at this site (see photo above). This bridge is so new that I couldn't find any information about it. However, we can see that it's a four span Pratt pony truss on single column hammerhead bents with pipe shear keys to keep the spans from being knocked off during earthquakes. In Google earth, I measured the bridge to be about 650 ft long across the San Joaquin River.
