In this historical photograph, we can observe the construction of the Coronado Bridge in 1968. This bridge, which was erected at an impressive cost of $50 million, commenced construction in February 1967. The esteemed architect behind this project is Robert Mosher. It opened on August 3, 1969, during the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the founding of San Diego. The 2.12-mile-long bridge has a vertical clearance of approximately 200 feet, allowing the tallest ships to pass beneath it. In 1970, it won the 'Most Beautiful Bridge' Award of Merit by the American Institute of Steel Construction.
