Owned and operated by the California State Railroad Museum, the hard-working and heavy duty 80-foot turntable located at the west end of the Museum officially returns to full operation on Friday, April 12, after a major maintenance overhaul.   Fabricated by the American Bridge Company in 1911 -- the same company that built the “workhorse” I Street Bridge during the very same year -- and originally installed in Yakima, Washington, the turntable was acquired by California State Parks from Union Pacific Railroad and installed in Old Sacramento circa 1980.  The turntable is used to move heavy locomotives and equipment in and out of the Railroad Museum; all locomotives and rail cars going in or out of the nearby Central Pacific Railroad Passenger Station and its display tracks also must cross the turntable because of the constrained track layout in Old Sacramento.

The City of West Sacramento proposes to build a bridge that connects South River Road across the Barge Canal. The proposed bridge connects the existing two  lane South River Road cul-de-sac on the north side of the Barge Canal to South River Road on the south side of the Barge Canal.

The bridge will include one 12-foot lane in each direction and one future un-striped 12-foot lane in each direction, a 2-foot raised median and shoulders, and two 6-foot walkways separated from traffic by a concrete barrier.
