Description
This circa 1980 photograph shows a man walking a bicycle across the venerable I Street Bridge, built in 1911 to replace two earlier bridges on the same spot. It is a double-decked bridge, offering pedestrian and rail traffic on the lower level and pedestrian and automobile traffic on the upper level. At the time this photograph was taken, the I Street Bridge was considered the heaviest swing-style bridge in the United States. The man is crossing from West Sacramento over into Sacramento proper.
