The Ashfield Highway bridge is a 1,280-foot-long (390 m) suspension bridge, crossing the river, connecting Ashfield Central and Downtown. The bridge is part of Highway 105, also known as the Bayside Freeway. The bridge hosts 6 lanes of highway traffic, championed as one of the longest suspension bridges in California.
History
Ashfield Bridge I
The original bridge crossing the waterway was composed of an early 1900s Gothic style suspension bridge (see Gallery below), serving Greenfield for over 50 years. The Greenfield Transportation Authority then commissioned Whitney & Arupthy Associates to design a new modern bridge to replace the now-aging bridge.
