Carries an access road in the Dinkey Creek Recreation Area over Dinkey Creek
Design: truss/through/bowstring
Design Details: According to the Dinkey Creek Recreation Area's website, it states the following about the bridge: The Dinkey Historical Bridge is a redwood, bowstring arch truss bridge, which may be the only one of its kind in California. It was among the first bridges in America to utilize steel, split-ring timber-connecting devices; a design that gave wood bridges strength to carry heavy loads. This bridge was built in 1938 and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. (http://www.sierranevadageotourism.org/content/dinkey-creek-recreation-area/sie4F556645EF435183E)
