Description: The I Street Bridge in Sacramento, California, is a historic steel truss swing bridge that spans the Sacramento River, connecting the cities of Sacramento and West Sacramento. Completed in 1911, the bridge serves both vehicular and rail traffic, with the lower deck accommodating trains and the upper deck designated for cars and pedestrians. Its unique swing mechanism allows the central span to pivot horizontally, enabling river traffic to pass through. The I Street Bridge is not only a vital transportation link but also a significant architectural landmark, reflecting early 20th-century engineering prowess. Plans for a new bridge to replace the aging structure are underway, aiming to enhance safety and traffic flow while preserving the historical essence of the original bridge.
