Bridge
Description:
The Cabrillo Bridge spans the Cabrillo Canyon and was built in 1915 as a pedestrian entranceway to the Panama-California
Exposition. The bridge is 120 feet high only because of the height of the canyon and was built from a redwood frame with
poured concrete. In 2004 a fire broke out, possibly due to arson, in the redwood timbers and firefighters had to punch holes
through the concrete in order to put out the fire. In order to save the bridge and prevent further emergency the bridge was
subsequently subject to a $1 million updating project to bring it up to code, earthquake safe, and fire resistant.
