Biographical or Historical Note

Written on reverse: Circa 1920 - wooden Guerneville bridge, built 1885-90 – replaced by current bridge in 1922.

This bridge is an uncommon example of a pin-connected Parker truss, although multiple examples survive on the Russian River. The bridge also is noted for its multi-span configuration, with three main spans. A series of concrete t-beam spans provide an approach to the main spans. The bridge truss configuration is unusual in that with the two center panels of the truss, the diagonal members pass through two panels instead of just one which is the case with the other panels on the truss. The center panels make the bridge look like a Pennsylvania truss, although the other panels do not display this design, which is why the bridge is being classified as a Parker and not a Pennsylvania truss. The truss retains lattice railings.

The bridge was bypassed by a new concrete highway bridge, but retained as a pedestrian walkway.
