Actually, it is NOT the only one left in Yolo County: its "sister" still survives in Rumsey up in Capay Valley, spanning Cache Creek: slated for removal by the County, but still sitting there--it does not connect 2 counties nor get much use, as it leads to private ranches and an unmaintained county graded road over the hills, but you CAN still see/admire/photograph/walk on it if you love these historic beauties🥰😇 Its to your right off Highway 16 just past the Rumsey Hall and PO.

Stevenson Bridge Rehabilitation Project to Begin in May

Solano County, in partnership with Yolo County, is moving forward with the rehabilitation of the historic Stevenson Bridge, a 298-foot, multi-span arch bridge spanning Putah Creek between the two counties. While both counties are served by the bridge, Solano County was originally established as the agency responsible for its maintenance. Yolo County contributes to half of the ongoing maintenance costs for the structure.

At more than 100 years old, Stevenson Bridge is designated as a historical landmark and serves as a critical transportation link connecting Solano and Yolo counties. According to California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the bridge “is a rare example of a reinforced concrete through tied arch in California and is the oldest bridge of this type in California and possibly the United States.” Often referred to locally as “Graffiti Bridge,” it is the only remaining concrete double arch span bridge of its kind from its era.
