he I Street Bridge is a swing span which crosses the Sacramento River and is owned by the Union Pacific Railroad. The top deck of this 400-foot-long structure carries automotive traffic from I Street in Sacramento to C Street in West Sacramento. The bottom deck carries the tracks of the Union Pacific Railroad.
The I Street Bridge was completed in 1912 as a cooperative between the Southern Pacific Railroad, Yolo County and Sacramento County. The span would become part of the State Highway System when Legislative Route Number 50 was extended to Sacramento in 1933.
California State Route 16 would be assigned to the I Street Bridge when the initial run of Sign State Routes was announced in August 1934. The structure became part of California State Route 24 when said highway was extended to Oakland in 1935. California State Route 24 would continue to use the I Street Bridge until it was realigned onto the Jibboom Street Bridge (Legislative Route Number 232) in 1960.
The I Street Bridge was removed as part of the State Highway System and as part of California State Route 16 in 1984. The final design of the replacement highway span was selected during 2020 but has been delayed due to budget shortfalls between the cities of Sacramento and West Sacramento.

You might have missed this in my post on Changes to the Cahighways site, from the CTC minutes in the approval for future consideration of funding:

More a case of I wrote this blog about five months ago after the Sacramento Road Meet. I'll add a paragraph into the blog tonight capturing the recent CTC activity.
I don't know if I ever told you, but I generally have a back log of blogs awaiting publishing dates. I tried to keep the Gribblenation blog site stocked with six months of scheduled posts. It gives Doug, Adam and Dan some flexibility to add their own blogs in so we aren't completely dominated by California content.
Spacing the blogs out seems to be driving regular viewing traffic in. Since I started this approach we have been consistently trending at over 100,000 monthly views.
