Cabrillo Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cabrillo Bridge in Balboa Park (San Diego, California) was the main access across a canyon built for the Panama-California Exposition in 1915. It is now easily seen from the scenic Cabrillo Freeway (State Route 163), which is located in the floor of the canyon below.
The east-west traffic atop the two-lane bridge (not visible from California State Route 163 below, due to the unusual height of the bridge) is a portion of Laurel Street in the City of San Diego, and is located east of Sixth Avenue, which forms the western boundary of Balboa Park.
The unusual height of the bridge is dictated entirely by the topography of the canyon; Laurel Street continues across the bridge at the same level as the ground on either end of the bridge, while State Route 163 passes beneath it at approximately the level of the original canyon floor.
The Cabrillo Bridge portion of Laurel Street is one of a number of access routes to the cluster of museums located at the "Prado" (the former 1915 Panama Exposition site) which is east of the bridge along the west side of Park Boulevard.
There is no direct access route between State Route 163 and Laurel Street. |
