The roadway, Sierra Highway, does actually get a lot of traffic. I made sure to take those photos with the least amount of traffic to get clean shots of the structure. The bridge is being replaced as it has little to no shoulder, no sidewalk, and was partially damaged in the 1994 quake. No matter the reasons, I’ll still be sad to see it go. It is the LAST original bridge left along the 1939 Newhall-Saugus bypass.

Seems in the photos there’s no traffic. If anything widening bridges and roads just leads to more widening of bridges and roads. Our tax dollars should be going toward public transportation instead.
