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

August 1999 (34.0104 Degrees, -118.2198 Degrees) Los Angeles River Bridges

This weird looking structure is the Soto Street Bridge (53C0867), an eight span concrete deck arch that was built in 1928. They widened it in 1987 with precast girders sitting on pedestals that were mounted on the bridge's cutwaters. Not the most elegant solution. This bridge is on a high skew with the river and it intersects 26th Street just east of the bridge we studied yesterday. We can see the water tower for the City of Vernon behind the bridge.
