Traffic Streaks Under the Georgia Street Bridge In Downtown San Diego. Take 2.

            Not completely satisfied with my shots from the previous night, I again shot some long exposures here tonight. This image is a stack of two frames. The combined frames make for a shot of 390 sec f/32 ISO 50 135mm.  A Canon 6D and cheap Canon 75-300mm lens were used. 

In 1914, the Georgia Street Bridge — a reinforced concrete structure designed by J.R. Comly to replace a 1907 all-redwood trussed bridge — was dedicated in a new city neighborhood named North Park. Charles F. O’Neall was the mayor of San Diego, a city of about 40,000 people experiencing growing pains.

The new bridge was an instant classic with its elegant Roman arches, a theme echoed on the massive retaining walls on both sides of University Avenue, below the bridge.

The bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. Recently Caltrans had determined the bridge was “functionally obsolete and structurally deficient.” Construction of the new bridge began in early 2016 and was completed in 2018. The bridge and walls had to retain their original look, per its historic status and input from North Park residents and organizations. The restored bridge looks great and hopefully it will remain for another 100 years and beyond. #sandiego #georgiastreetbridge #bridge
