Dinkey Creek Bridge, Timber arch bridge in Sierra National Forest, California.
The Dinkey Creek Bridge spans across Dinkey Creek with a single wooden arch truss design incorporating diagonal members that angle toward the center.
The United States Forest Service constructed this bridge in 1938 using Civilian Conservation Corps labor, following designs by engineer T.K. May.
The bridge received recognition through its inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places in 1996 for its engineering methods and structural design.
Located 42 miles east of Fresno at 5,680 feet elevation, the bridge underwent renovation in 1988 to replace deteriorated components with treated materials.
In April 2023, the structure collapsed after enduring heavy snow loads during the winter season, affecting its historical presence in Sierra National Forest.
