Description: Pasadena, CALIFORNIA - Pioneer & Colorado Street Bridges - 1955: The Colorado Street Bridge is a historic concrete arch bridge spanning the Arroyo Seco in Pasadena, California. The Colorado Street Bridge was designed and built in 1912 at a total cost of $191,000 (equivalent to $5,809,953 in 2023). The bridge was designed by the firm of Waddell & Harrington, based in Kansas City, Missouri. The bridge follows a curved path so that the footings would sit on more solid ground than a straight bridge would have provided. The bridge spans 1,468 feet (447 m) at a maximum height of 150 feet (50 m) and is notable for its distinctive Beaux Arts arches, light standards, and railings. The Pasadena Pioneers Bridge, also known as the Colorado Freeway Bridge, is underway directly north of the Colorado Street Bridge, seen on the right. The majestic Vista del Arroyo Hotel is visible in the background on the right. A portion of the photograph caption reads, "The mid-section of the new bridge is 93 1/2 feet wide. Thirty-two thousand cubic yards of concrete was poured into the bridge. This Linen Era postcard, published in 1055, is in good condition. Genuine Curteich-Chicago "C.T. Art-Colortone" Chicago.
