Albion River Bridge, Wooden truss bridge in Albion, California
The Albion River Bridge extends 970 feet across the river with a 26-foot-wide deck supported by concrete towers and a steel center truss.
The bridge opened in 1944 during World War II, using salvaged wood treated with copper azole preservative due to wartime concrete and steel shortages.
The structure remains the last wooden bridge on California State Route 1, marking a connection between coastal communities in Mendocino County.
The bridge serves approximately 3,200 vehicles daily, connecting communities along State Route 1 while providing access to local fishing spots.
Local residents successfully advocated for the preservation of this wooden structure, leading to its listing in the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.
