Mountain Quarries Bridge
Mountain Quarries Bridge, Railway bridge in Auburn, California.
The Mountain Quarries Bridge spans the North Fork American River with three concrete arches, measuring 482 feet in length and 150 feet in height.
Built in 1912 by the Mountain Quarries Company of San Francisco, the bridge served as a vital transportation link for the local mining and cement industries.
The structure represents early 20th-century engineering achievements and holds both National Register of Historic Places and California Historical Landmark designations.
Located between El Dorado and Placer counties, the bridge now functions as a passage for pedestrians and equestrians exploring the Auburn State Recreation Area.
During the 1964 Hell Hole Dam failure, this concrete bridge provided emergency vehicle access between counties after modern bridges were destroyed by floods.
