Any one who has travelled between Susanville and Westwood on Highway 36 since the fall of 2019 are well aware of the Good Fred project. The project consists of a realignment over Fredonyer. A second realignment is at Goodrich Creek. Further upstream from the existing bridge will be a new replacement bridge. Now for your history lesson for the day. This is not the first time, the highway changed the location of the crossing of Goodrich Creek. The first came in 1929, when the highway was being constructed, and the highway department did not care for the original wagon road crossing, and relocated to the current site.

Now, you have a little historical trivia to impress your friends.
