Coordinates: 32.731412°N 117.154185°W

Address: El Prado, San Diego

Description:

Date Built: 1914

Architect: Frank P. Allen, Jr. and Thomas B. Hunter

This bridge was built for the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego, along with a good part of the buildings in Balboa Park. We sort of thought this bridge was historic, but could not find it on the NRHP. But as we were walking the bridge, we found that it had a plaque indicating it was on the American Society of Civil Engineers Historical Buildings list. Great! You can read about our walk across the bridge in this blog.
