Found this cool bridge while driving around checking out that really low elevation snowfall we had this past winter.

Apparently this bridge was built in 1912, and originally spanned the Mojave River up in Victorville, but was moved to this spot in 1933. It was the only bridge crossing the Santa Ana River in the area, and was much needed to transport oranges from local groves. A modern bridge was built adjacent in 2014, and the Greenspot Road Bridge was converted to a walking and biking bridge (and according to google, a popular spot for photographing motorcycles).
