The Tower Bridge was officially dedicated on Sunday December 15, 1935 by Governor Frank Merriam.
-
It was the first vertical lift bridge in the California Highway system. It replaced the M Street steel swing span.
-
The Tower Bridge was originally painted silver.
-
In June 1976 it was painted a yellow-ochre to match the gold leafed capitol dome.
-
It was repainted a hideous shade of gold in 2002 after an on-line vote.
-
It's fun to walk over the Tower Bridge after
Rivercats games at Raley Field, though it can get kind of windy.
-
From November-December 2007, the Bridge was closed in order to widen the walkways on the edges.
