Foresthill Bridge, Steel cantilever bridge in North Auburn, United States
The Foresthill Bridge extends 263 meters across the North Fork American River, connecting the communities of Auburn and Foresthill in California.
Opening in 1973, the bridge was constructed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Japan and assembled by Willamette Western Contractors at a cost of 13 million dollars.
The bridge serves as a central reference point for the local community, with regular photography sessions capturing the surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills landscape.
Visitors can access dedicated walking paths on both sides of the bridge, which features protective barriers measuring 2 meters in height for safety.
The structure stands as California's highest bridge and ranks fourth in height among all bridges in the United States, rising 220 meters above the river.
