Notes
  • Significance: The Smith River Bridge was a rare California example of the cantilever highway truss bridge, a bridge type that enjoyed brief popularity during the decade spanning the late 1920s to the late 1930s. Because the type was best suited to specialized applications, only limited numbers were built in the State. Indeed, there are only seven remaining, following removal of the Smith River Bridge. The Smith River Bridge was the first cantilever bridge design executed by State Highway engineers, and likely was influenced by D.B. Steinman's Carquinez Bridge (1923-27).
