Coronado Bridge Turns 40
Written by admin on August 3, 2009
A San Diego landmark celebrated its 40th birthday Saturday. The Coronado Bridge opened to traffic in 1969 and now more than 75,000 drivers pass over the bridge each day.
Saturday morning, dozens of local leaders were on hand to celebrate one of America’s finest symbols.
Do any search on San Diego and chances are the distinctive blue bridge will be one of the first images to pop up on the screen: The Coronado Bridge.
Now celebrating its 40th year, its sleek and slender towers and smooth curve are as beautiful as ever, and its function is equally important.
I actually went down to the celebration yesterday and it was really awesome. I expected it to be pretty boring, but they had food and activities down at Chicano Park which was really fun – much more than I expected to say the least. A great job by the city for putting that on!
