June 2014 (37.82218 Degrees, -122.24540 Degrees) Oakland Avenue OC |
The Oakland Avenue Bridge (33C0083) is a 343 ft long bridge with a 160 ft arch span and retaining wall supported approaches. It was built in 1911 but it's apparently not considered a historic structure by the county. The bridge has architectural motifs such as steep walls and overhangs (resembling machicolations) which were once used to prevent entry into medieval fortresses.
