The 1912 Spruce St. suspension bridge.
Enjoy the movement when crossing over Kate Sessions Canyon.
The 1995 Vermont St. bridge with its words of inspiration to read while crossing Washington Street. It replaced the 1916 wooden-trestle bridge that eased usage of the University trolley line that was the primary transportation line in San Diego from 1888–1949.
The seventh bridge: in 1907, a redwood-truss bridge was built after the ridge was cut to allow the streetcar line to extend eastward to Fairmount Ave., opening North Park and other surrounding areas to development. In 1914, the current concrete bridge was built and is now designated as a local, state, and national landmark.
