To preserve & promote the history of Roseville
Ice House Bridge
Originally situated above Southern Pacific’s railyards, this bridge provided safe access for employees working at the Pacific Fruit Express ice making plant. After the ice house was demolished, the bridge was moved to downtown Roseville for use as a public footbridge over Dry Creek in Royer Park in 1986. It was dedicated the following year as the Reuben F. Nelson footbridge. It currently serves as part of the Royer Park bike/walking trail.
