Los Angeles County, California Bridges: Mason Avenue and Vanowen Street Bridges across the Los Angeles River

August 2009 (34.1937 Degrees, -118.5784 Degrees) Los Angeles River Bridges
We're continuing downstream and are now where Mason Avenue and Vanowen Street cross over the Los Angeles River (at right angles to each other). Each of these bridges is an example of how an attractive barrier rail can turn a boring bridge into something exciting! The more distant Mason Avenue Bridge (53C1244) has a muscular railing that's integral with the bridge and gives it a powerful appearance. The Vanowen Street Bridge (53C1362) has a whimsical recurrent theme (of wheels? of traveling?) cast into the barrier and a pretty metal rail on top that makes you feel like your traveling somewhere nice.
