Bridgeport Covered Bridge

Posted by on October 1, 2018

The Bridgeport Covered Bridge was built in 1862 in a setting more like Connecticut than the Gold Rush country of California. It spans the South Yuba River for 230 feet, making it the largest, single-span covered bridge anywhere. It served as a toll bridge for miners coming from Virginia City and the Comstock Lode in Nevada. A four-million dollar restoration is scheduled to begin this year. The first photo is undated.
