Description
Sacramento’s Tower Bridge was one result of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal, a government-funded series of programs designed to boost what the Sacramento Bee called “the economic well-being and psyche of the beleaguered U.S. population” during the Great Depression.
Construction of the Tower Bridge, which replaced the old M Street Bridge from 1911, employed 130 men for 16 months and further employed four more men in permanent positions.
The bridge was dedicated on Sunday December 15, 1935.
