MCCANN BRIDGE

McCann is in an unincorporated area of Humboldt County located along the Wild and Scenic Eel River. Dyerville Loop Road is connected to McCann Road and the east side of the Eel River via a seasonal low-water crossing/bridge across the Eel River. This crossing becomes inundated and is formally open only 5 months a year. When the low-water crossing is closed, the residents on the east side of the river use a County-operated ferry boat... In 1950, the Lindsey Lumber Company relocated to McCann from Bridgeville. Around this time, Humboldt County began operating the ferry to get residents and lumber mill workers across the river during the winter high water... Humboldt County's McCann Bridge Replacement Project would replace the low-water crossing with a full-height, full-service bridge that allows residents, emergency vehicles, and resource equipment year-round access across the Eel River.
