History and Signage Information History and Signage Information

This route was defined in 1974.

The O'Byrne Ferry Covered Bridge was removed during 1955 as part of the Tri-Dam Project which eventually formed Lake Tulloch.  O'Byrne's Ferry Road was subsequently realigned via a bridge that crossed the Tuolumne/Calaveras County line at the site of Lake Tulloch.  The current O'Byrne's Ferry historical plaque was placed by the Calaveras County Historical Society during 1993 along County Sign Route E15.
