The question is bound to come up for anyone looking at historic structures around Russian Gulch State Park. The bridge was designed by Henry E. Kuphal and built by a private contracting firm in 1939-1940. It was named the Frederick W. Panhorst Bridge in 1974, in honor of a long-time state engineer who specialized in bridges.The governor and lieutenant governor dedicated the bridge in ceremonies on June 9, 1940. It was completed soon after that. In December 1940, it was the cover subject of the magazine California Highways and Public Works,which was the official publication of the Division of Highways, California Department of Public Works.
