Pit River Bridge
The Pit River Bridge (officially the Veterans of Foreign Wars Memorial Bridge〔) is a double deck, deck truss, road and rail bridge over Shasta Lake in Shasta County, California. The bridge, carrying Interstate 5 on its upper deck and Union Pacific Railroad on its lower deck, was built in 1942 as part of the construction of the Shasta Dam/Shasta Lake reservoir system. The Pit River Bridge was constructed to replace the Lower Pit River Bridge, as the rising waters of the Shasta Lake reservoir would have put the older bridge underwater.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sightseeing on Shasta Lake )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Shasta Dam: A Tour Through Time )〕 The entire bridge spans long on the upper deck and on the lower deck.〔 With a height of , it is the highest double decked bridge in the United States.〔
At the time it was built, the highway on the bridge was signed as U.S. Route 99 and the rail line was owned by Southern Pacific. The ''Coast Starlight'', the passenger train line operated by Amtrak that runs from Los Angeles north to Seattle, also uses the bridge.〔
The bridge is officially known as the ''Veterans of Foreign Wars Memorial Bridge'', to honor military veterans from California who have fought in foreign wars.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/tsip/hseb/products/Named_Freeways_Final.pdf )〕
