Historic Sites and Points of Interest in Placer County
This wire suspension bridge over North Fork American River was built in 1928 by Placer County to replace an earlier wooden bridge at the same location. The bridge has steel lattice towers and a wood deck.
Placer County built a new bridge for automobiles in 1985, but left the suspension bridge in place as a pedestrian bridge.
