The Gianella Bridge was a

Historic American Engineering Record

(HAER) in 1984. It was demolished in 1987 but remains NRHP-listed.

While a bridge was desired by both counties, there was disagreement about the location. Glenn County favored the Hamilton City location to support Hamilton, in Glenn County, and the sugar beet industry; Butte County favored a location closer to Chico, in Butte County. The deadlock was broken by influence of Swiss-born Vincenzo Gianella, a Butte County large landowner and sugar beet farmer.^[2]^[3]

It was replaced by a concrete highway bridge and was removed in 1987.^[3]

Nonetheless, the swing bridge remains listed on the NRHP as of 2013.^[1]
