- Pasadena
John K. Van de Kamp Bridge spans Pasadena’s Arroyo Seco with a series of historic concrete arches.
Commonly known as La Loma Bridge, the crossing was originally built in 1914 and later underwent major seismic rehabilitation.
The photograph shows an earlier view of the actual bridge from the side. Appreciate its structure from permitted public viewpoints and use current city information for pedestrian routes and any traffic or trail restrictions. The bridge remains transport infrastructure rather than a museum site. Do not enter maintenance areas or climb its structure. Lower Arroyo paths have their own conditions and posted access rules.
