I asked John Vonderlin: Is this a photo of Anderson Bridge? Is it still standing?
John said:
I believe the attached photos are of it. The photo you sent was of the bridge in its early years. I believe it was rebuilt in 1937 along with the other bridge slightly to the west. Then the railing was replaced a few years ago in a manner similar to its reconstructed style.
I believe it is the bridge right in front of the former “Flamingo House.” Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the Caltrans’s Bridge 40 designation on it. There was the plaque
from 1937 though. I’ll include articles about the Flamingo House, plastic flamingos, the bridge railing project and a few pictures. The pictures are of the plaque, the bridge, the former Flamingo House driveway, and the bridge from the creek. Enjoy. John
