a Remarkable Highway Bridge.

one Of the interesting features Of
MIA is a trcstle over three miles long
across the Yolo Basin. which formerly
Isolated the people living along. many
miles of one bank of the Sacramento
River from those OH the other side.
The basin is great marsh, which
could be crossed formerly only during
the dry weather of summer and early
fall. AZ such seasons a difficult sue
cession of rutS and chuc kholeS could
be iaboriously Travelled. but at other
times Sacramento was practically
closed to the people on the other side
Of the basin. No road could possibly
be maintained on the surface of the
marsh. so the state Highway Commits
si1u built one high above it. For
