Few park roads show change as clearly as the bridges that have carried traffic across streams and meadows in Yosemite. This series follows those crossings from the 1920s to the present, roughly a century in which the park's roads were rebuilt for a steadily growing number of automobiles. Bridges from the early decades often used stone and timber in the rustic style favored by the National Park Service, which was founded in 1916 and wanted its structures to blend into the landscape. Later replacements tended toward concrete and steel, shaped by modern engineering standards and heavier loads.
