California's Highway 1 makes for an epic road trip with plenty of beautiful beaches and cities along the way. The Albion River Bridge, which takes the highway over the Albion River as it empties into the Pacific Ocean, has been there since 1944. It's 150 feet tall and 969 feet long, and it's become a veritable symbol of the small community that lives here. However, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has determined that the bridge is in "poor and deteriorating condition," and is proposing replacing it altogether (via Albion River Bridge Project). After years of public comments, a "preferred project design" for the bridge has been confirmed on the Caltrans website.
