The Colorado Street Bridge

The Colorado Street Bridge in Pasadena is by far one of my favorite bridges.  I remember as a teenager driving by it on the 210 freeway and fantasizing about one day getting proposed to on that bridge.  That didn't happen, but I still got a great husband so I am over it.

Often referred to as the Arroyo Seco Bridge, it was designed and build in 1913 and connects Pasadena to Eagle Rock.  It has beautiful arches and fabulous vintage lighting details.  Best of all it was part of the historic route 66 until the 1940's.  I personally just love the beauty of it.  Definitely it is a great work of architecture and is a must visit if you are coming the the Pasadena, CA  area.
