Albion Bridge Shoreline Highway
Postcard of Albion Bridge from the 1930's? The Shoreline Highway was one of the former names for Hwy 1. State Route 1 (SR 1) is a major north-south state highway that runs along most of the Pacific coastline of the U.S. state of California. Highway 1 has several portions designated as either Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), Cabrillo Highway, Shoreline Highway, or Coast Highway. Its southern terminus is at Interstate 5 (I-5) near Dana Point in Orange County and its northern terminus is at U.S. Highway 101 (US 101) near Leggett in Mendocino County. Highway 1 also at times runs concurrently with US 101, most notably through a 54-mile (87 km) stretch in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties, and across the Golden Gate Bridge.

Although this historic postcard is marked "Big Dam Creek Bridge on the Redwood Highway', I think it is misspelled and is really the "Big Dann Creek Bridge". There is no Big Dam Creek that I could find in Northern California.
