As fog clouds creep over the hills from the Pacific Ocean, Bridgepixing the Bixby Creek Bridge, built 1933, which carries Highway 1, the Pacific Coast Highway, between Big Sur and Carmel, California. Additional Bridge Photos and a Bridge Blog at www.Bridgepix.com. Bixby Creek Bridge is a reinforced concrete open-spandrel arch bridge in Big Sur, California, 120 miles south of San Francisco along Cabrillo Highway (CA-1). It is 714 feet long, 24 feet wide and has a main span of 320 feet. It is one of the most photographed bridges in the world because of its location along the beautiful central California coast, and has frequently been used in automobile commercials. Bixby Creek Bridge is important historically because it introduced automobile travel to Big Sur, connecting the remote coastal towns to each other. Before the bridge was completed by Ward Engineering Company in 1932, coastal travelers endured rough wagon roads over precipitous ridges and valleys. The 30 mile journey from Monterey to the Big Sur River valley could take three days round trip. The design engineer for the Bridge was Norman Raab, who also designed the Donner Summit Bridge (a concrete arch bridge near Truckee, CA). The bridge was retrofitted in 1997 as part of the Caltrans Phase II seismic retrofit program. The retrofit solidifies the bridge's structural and landmark status for the next generation of Californians. (Wikipedia)
