In 1912, two neighborhoods in San Diego that were separated by a canyon, were connected by a footbridge. The bridge spans over 370 feet in length and 70 feet above the canyon below at its highest, and amazingly in this age of cars and fast transportation, is still here more than a century later.
The Spruce Street Suspension Bridge is probably one of the best known "hidden" spots in San Diego, and is quite popular on places like Instagram. We recently visited the bridge, where we took a look at it from above and below, while discussing its history and the story of its designer.
We also ventured about a 1/2 mile away, to another historic bridge in San Diego that linked two neighborhoods, the Quince Street Bridge. This wooden trestle bridge was built in 1905, making it one the oldest bridges in the county.
