Significance: The Pleasants Valley Road Bridge is a good example of early reinforced concrete bridge construction. It has a closed spandrel concrete arch, exemplifying concrete bridge construction in rural California, especially with spans less than 100 ft. Although typical for its time, few such bridges remain in Solano County. The bridge was determined potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, with concurrence from the State Office of Historic Preservation.
