Devil’s Corral BridgeIn the summer of 1965 construction of a new 285 feet long Devil’s Corral bridge began and the new span was dedicated on September 21, 1966. It was part of a $2.3 million project to revamp 8.3 miles of State Route 36 from Susanville to Willard Creek. The span replaced the old Devil’s Corral bridge that was built in 1923. Speaking of cost, the initial expenditure to construct the highway between Red Bluff and Susanville was less than a million dollars when it was completed in 1929.
Is that bridge with the trestle still there?
That’s a great old Eastman image! I was upstream of it WAY too early this morning and tried to do what’s left of the old girl justice!

Well you did a great job. I wonder how many times I crossed that
old girl from 1941-1956. When we moved from Westwood.
Thanks for sharing
