San Mateo County, California Bridges: State Route 1 across Pescadero Creek (1)

July 2014 (37.266824 Degrees, -122.411248 Degrees) Pescadero Creek Bridge

Continuing south along the coast I arrived at the Pescadero Creek Bridge (35 0028). When I was in Caltrans Bridge Design Branch 1 our boss Ted Roworth encouraged us to think outside the box. Emil Vergara took advantage of this openness to design a bridge that was more sculptural in form. Felix Wong, who was in Caltrans Aesthetics Branch worked with Emil to achieve this unique design. I also recall that Brian Jesse helped make the piers work for the high seismic demands along the coast.
