June 2014 (37.76449 Degrees, -122.22494 Degrees) High Street Bridge |
The first bridge at this site was an iron swing bridge built by the Harrison Bridge Company in 1894 for $25,000. Like the Park and Fruitvale Bridges it was built by the USACE in exchange for permission to dredge the channel. The current bridge was paid for by the WPA, designed by the Alameda County Surveyors office, and built by MacDonald and Kahn for $750,000 in 1939.
