Alameda County, California Bridges: Rosewarnes Underpass across State Route 84

June 2014 (37.59001-121.95721 Degrees) Dresser Railroad Bridge
Rosewarnes Underpass and the Dresser Railroad Bridge (33 0034) are composed of plate girder end spans and through truss main spans over SR 84 and Alameda Creek. This bridge was built in 1906 and is 377 ft long and 15 ft wide. An unusual aspect of the bridge is the 45 degree skew that required the truss panels to be cut to accommodate the oblique angle. This bridge is heavily used by tourist trains, freight trains, and passenger trains.
