Marin County, California Bridges: Bellum Blvd Bridges

January 2016 (37.9579, -122.5090) Bellum Blvd. Bridges

A complaint that can be made about US bridge engineers is they often place different bridges together without regard to the resulting appearance. In the foreground is a new, single span steel thru truss pedestrian bridge on squat bents/abutments. Right behind it is an old, abandoned, timber trestle railroad bridge. Directly above these smaller bridges are the giant concrete US-101 expressway bridges. No thought was given to how unattractive these bridges look as a whole to people driving by.
