[I thought a double-leaf, heel-trunnion bridge was rare. The only one I had seen before was in a railroad bridge upstream of the Soo Locks. But there are other bridges of this type on the Sacramento River. Mark gives the Isleton Bridge as an example. But a double-leaf is still rare, so I augmented the bridgeStrauss label with bridgeRare.]

The bridge was closed to vehicular traffic Mar 22-26, 2016, to repair its locking mechanisms. But pedestrians could use the north side during the closure.

Center for Sacramento History posted
This photo of the Walnut Grove Bridge, a Strauss-type heel-trunnion bascule bridge constructed in 1951, was featured in the Sacramento Bee on July 10, 1976. The bridge, which connects Locke and Walnut Grove to the west side of the Sacramento River, is seen here raised for the passenger ferry Harbor Emperor. The Bee reported that the ferry connected Sacramento to Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, taking the 400 passengers on an approximately 100 mile voyage at a leisurely 9 hours.

Michael Schibly: The bridge has another leaf extending from this side of the river.

You are correct.

A higher resolution copy of the above photo. The predecessor bridge was also a double-leaf, heel-trunnion bridge.

"The Walnut Grove Bridge was also known as the Strauss-Trunnion Basule Bridge of the two-leaf type. The first bids to build the bridge were accepted back in November 1900. Construction began on October 11, 1913. The Walnut Grove Bridge officially opened on Sunday, July 16, 1916."
