NEWS FLASH! Due to be completed in 2025 our rural mountain top community IS the beneficiary of a $93M new bridge spanning 1,180 feet across and soaring 400 feet above the south fork of the American River courtesy of the Federal Highway Bridge Program. The current charming but outdated one lane, wooden suspension bridge has been in use since 1867. The new bridge access will eliminate usage of the narrowed canyon road including switchbacks to access the Mosquito/Swansboro community which has been populated since the 1840's when it was formerly called Nelsonville. There are 2 pioneer cemeteries, remnants of previous native American encampments, forests & waterways to explore as well as a long and colorful history including American Frontiersman, Kit Carson.
