Interesting bridge and facts, Art. Did you notice that the left bridge support seems to be dangling from the bridge? ...just hanging there. I wonder how this happened. ...A very enjoyable image to study. Not very important here, but there is a small window violation at the lower left. Remember the song lyrics "You take the high road, and I'll take the low road, and we'll meet...etc." Thanks for sharing this, Art.

As part of their addition of buildings to their image database, Google has added some bridges. They didn?t remove the original overhead view of the bridge, so it is now an imaginary roller-coaster ride that drops 730? down and back up again. Here?s some info on it:   Fun Facts  The Foresthill Bridge opened for traffic in 1973. The bridge measures 2,428-feet from one side to the other. At more than 730 feet above the American River, it is the highest bridge in California, the fourth highest in the United States, and the ninth highest bridge in the world. This famous and scenic bridge can be seen in several movies. The scene that it is perhaps most known for is in the Movie ?xXx? starring Vin Diesel. In this movie, Vin Diesel?s character drives a Corvette off the bridge, jumps from the car in mid-fall, then parachutes down to the American River Canyon. Foresthill Bridge can also be seen in the movies ?Phantom? (1996), and ?The Ugly Truth? (2009). Foresthill Bridge is also commonly referred to as the Auburn-Foresthill Bridge, or simply the Auburn Bridge. The Foresthill Bridge was originally constructed to accompany an Auburn Dam that was never built. The dam would have created a reservoir that would have innundated the original bridge. The seismic retrofit will add approximately 2.2 million lbs. of steel to the bridge. The new cat walk will also use another 350,450 lbs. of structural steel. The bridge was built from each side outward, meeting in the middle. No virus found in this message.
