I was looking through some of my files and came across some photos of the bridge when it was still open to traffic. The black and white shots are courtesy HABS/HAER ca. 1988. The color prints are courtesy of the Nevada County Museum.

Visited this bridge at 4:00 pm on 19 November 2006. Much of the decking towards the middle of this bridge is missing and would be dangerous to attempt crossing. The west approach is significantly decayed and hanging at a 30 degree angle. Was able to get down in the river channel for photos from the gravel bar. Hunting leases exist on the road to the bridge.
