April 2015 (41.0111 Degrees, -122.4094 Degrees) Sacramento River Bridges |
As I mentioned yesterday, Interstate 5 crosses the Sacramento River twice as it makes a big loop around some foothills. We are traveling into a mountainous region with Mount Shasta dominating the landscape to the north. Consequently, the Sacramento River Bridges and Overheads (06 0192L/R) are on very tall single column bents as they cross over the river and railroad. These bridges have four span prestressed cast-in-place concrete box girder superstructures and they were built in 1989. They're 863 ft long with a 240 ft long span over the railroad and river. The bridge soffit is 70 ft above the tracks. The normally wide Sacramento River looks like a meandering creek at this location.
