"The Calaveritas Creek Bridge (Bridge 30C -24) is a polygonal top chord Warren pony truss. It is 100’ long and is supported on concrete wing wall abutments. The bridge was installed in 1928 on plans by the county surveyor, W. S. Coulter. 1 The contract for building the bridge was awarded to R. L. Stevens of Portland, Oregon. County records do not indicate the company that manufactured the truss. The steel, however, has rolling marks for PCS Co., likely indicating fabrication by the Pacific Coast Steel Company of South San Francisco. The bridge retains a very high degree of integrity to its appearance upon construction. The only notable change was the replacement of the original timber guard rails inside the truss with metal beam rails, and replacement of the original wooden deck with a newer wooden deck, both in 1968."
