Built in 1935 the Tower Bridge (Also known as Tower Bridge;M Street Bridge;Capitol Avenue Bridge) spans the Sacramento River at Sacramento California. The bridge was the first vertical lift bridge constructed in the state. It originally carried four lanes of highway traffic with a single track railroad running down the center of the bridge.
A wonderfully detailed history of this crossing point and the

Reports, where there is a page specifically
dedicated to the Bridges
