RichKenn is correct. That is the classic California Division of Highways (now CalTrans) bridge structure. I cross the current US101 bridge (not shown) every time I drive (several times a year) from the Central Coast to Orange County and return. I worked as an Engineering Aide at The Division of Highways every summer while I was attending Engineering (EE) school at USC in the late 1950's. The bridge guys were on the 6th floor, I was on the 5th floor of the Tishman Building on Wilshire Blvd (3440). in LA in those days. Great experience.

Rich is correct, but Hwy1 merges with Hwy101 in Oxnard and they run together past Solvang and on Google maps it looks like the bridge is not in use anymore. Both 1 and 101 by pass the bridge and I think it is the original Hwy1.
