Description 

One of two high-level bridges across New Melones Reservoir. Although both bridges feature a modern prestressed concrete box girder construction, both bridges are notable as two of the highest bridges in the United States.

The other nearby bridge is the New Melones Reservoir Bridge/Archie Stevenot Memorial Bridge on CA-49.
