Tuolumne County, California Bridges: Parrots Ferry Bridge across the Stanislaus River

May 2013 (38.04583 Degrees, -120.44889 Degrees) Parrots Ferry Bridge
Another photo of the Parrots Ferry Bridge (32C0076) across the Stanislaus River. We last studied this bridge from the Calaveras County side of the river on June 7th, 2013. It's a 1293 ft long continuous prestressed concrete box girder bridge built in 1978. The center span is 640 ft long and I recall they did something to slow the sagging of the center span. All of these bridges over the Stanislaus River have haunched box girders and were built in the 1970s. It's another bridge named after a former ferry operator.
