@sachistorymuseum: Replying to @auntiekaitlyn Susan discusses the I Street Bridge, which is just a short distance from the Sacramento History Museum. In the video, the bridge is closing after it opened to allow a large boat to travel up the Sacramento River. The I Street Bridge in Sacramento opened for operation in April 1912. The 900-foot-long double deck steel truss swing bridge was designed under the direction of Southern Pacific Railroad’s consulting engineer, John D. Isaacs, and was furnished by the American Bridge Company. In 1912, the I Street Bridge was known as the Southern Pacific Bridge and cost about a million dollars to complete. This bridge replaced an old wooden bridge nearby and was, at the time it was built, the heaviest swing-span bridge in the world as it weighed over 10 million pounds. There are plans to replace this bridge in the near future. #SacHistoryMuseum #sacramento #sactiktok #museum #oldsacramento #rain
