Los Angeles County, California Bridges: East First Street Bridge across the Los Angeles River

August 1999 (34.04790 Degrees, -118.22988 Degrees) Los Angeles River Bridges
A quarter mile past the San Bernardino Freeway is the East First Street Bridge (53C1166). It's another of the Beaux Art Bridges that was meant to turn Los Angeles into a grand city like Paris and Rome. The First Street Bridge is a 28 span viaduct with two arch spans over the Los Angeles River. It was built in 1929, recently retrofit, and widened to carry the Gold Line Metro on its center lanes. We last studied this bridge in April of 2009
