Bridges span the Petaluma River at the following locations: California State Route 37, U.S. 101, Corona Road, Petaluma Boulevard North, and four places in Petaluma (D Street, Payran Street, Washington Street, and Lakeville Street). The longest of these, the 4-lane Route 37 bridge, is 2,183 ft (665 m) long and was built in 1958. The oldest bridge, built in 1925, is a 114 ft (35 m) concrete triple span carrying two lanes of Petaluma Boulevard North.

Famous quotes containing the word bridges:
“We live technologically, with man as the master of nature, man as the engineer, and let anyone who raises his voice against it stop using bridges not built by nature.... No electric light bulbs, no engines, no atomic energy, no calculating machines, no anaesthetics—back to the jungle.”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
“On such a night, when Air has loosed
Its guardian grasp on blood and brain,
Old terrors then of god or ghost
Creep from their caves to life again;”
—Robert Bridges (1844–1930)
