High Street Bridge (Old)
Posted April 23, 2017, by David Korinek (davidkorinek50 [at] gmail [dot] com)

Thank you Bridge Hunter,

I finally found the possible bridge that had the builder signage that I recently bought. This is a cast iron sign 5' x 14" that says Cal. Bridge Co.

Oakland Cal. The sign is about 1 inch thick & has 4 tapered holes 3/4 inch holes that was probably hung with rivets. I see that this is the only bridge that I can find on file that this company built so far.

Thanks again, David Korinek Lewiston Cal
