Fernbridge, Concrete arch bridge in Humboldt County, US
The Fernbridge spans 1,320 feet across the Eel River with seven concrete arches, connecting California State Route 211 to the city of Ferndale.
Engineer John B. Leonard designed and constructed this reinforced concrete structure in 1911 for a total cost of 245,967 dollars.
The structure earned recognition as a California Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1976 and received a place on the National Register of Historic Places.
The bridge supports daily transportation needs for dairy farms, ranches, and local residents while undergoing a 26-million-dollar renovation project in 2023.
Engineers chose reinforced concrete for construction following observations from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, which demonstrated this material's seismic resistance.
