Los Angeles County, California Bridges: Gage Avenue, Florence Avenue, and Clara Street Bridges across the Los Angeles River

August 1999 (33.9605 Degrees, -118.1714 Degrees) Los Angeles River Bridges

Standing south of the Randolph Road Metro Railroad Bridge looking south at the Gage Avenue Bridge (53C0159) a five span T girder bridge, the Florence Avenue Bridge (53C0071) a six span T girder bridge, and the Clara Street Bridge (53C0158) a five span T girder bridge.

These bridges were built from 1939 (the Clara Street Bridge) to 1948 (the Florence Avenue Bridge). We have departed from the City Beautiful aesthetic of bridges that we studied in downtown L.A, but these bridges still have a certain elegance with their haunched girder spans.
