Twin Bridges is a small unincorporated community on U.S. Route 50 in El Dorado County, California in the United States. It has a population of 14 people according to census figures however as of 2008 the road sign states the population is 10. Right after the town, the U.S. 50 eastbound starts a steep ascend to Echo Summit passing Sierra-at-Tahoe ski resort shortly before the summit.

When snow chains are required on the summit, California Department of Transportation often establishes chain control in Twin Bridges. This is likely because of very limited availability of shoulders where chains can be installed on summit approaches.

The ZIP codes are 95721 and 95735. The community is inside area code 530.
