Los Angeles County, California Bridges: Queensway Drive Bridges across the Los Angeles River

August 1999 (33.76000 Degrees-118.19833 Degrees) Los Angeles River Bridges
We've finally reached our destination, the last bridges across the Los Angeles River at it's mouth in San Pedro Bay. The Queensway Drive Bridges (53C0551L/R) are a pair of three span steel box girder bridges that were built in 1969. The name comes from the Queen Mary, a famous cruise ship that is now a tourist attraction in the Bay (seen in the distance). The bridges are cantilever structures with a 1310 ft overall length and with a 500 ft main span length over the river.
