Celebration for the 75th anniversary of the Albion River Bridge will be held June 9

MENDOCINO CO., 6/5/19 — After 75 years, and achieving a place on the National Historic Register, the nearly 1,000 foot wooden Albion River Bridge remains the shortest and sturdiest highway crossing over the Albion River, and possibly the longest timber trestle bridge in use in the country. The bridge has been recognized as historic by both the state and federal governments, attracted the attention of CalTrans project managers and the New York Times, and now will be the center of a birthday celebration organized by the Albion Bridge Stewards.

Here’s the full press release from the Albion Bridge Stewards, who are hosting the celebration. You can join them on Sunday, June 9 from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Albion River Inn.
