"Constructed in 1927 and 1928, the Delgado Street Bridge spans the Santa Fe River, connecting Canyon Road to Alameda Street. The approximately 40’-6”-long bridge is made of a single reinforced-concrete deck-girder span arranged at a skew over the stream. The girders rest on concrete abutments with skewed wingwalls. The north end of the superstructure sits on cast-steel plates, while the east end rests cast-steel rocker bearings. The 23’-5”-wide deck carries two lanes of traffic over a 22’-wide concrete roadway. The deck is framed by sturdy concrete posts and railing ornamented with recessed stamped panels. The railing continues along the radii of the curve, creating a gateway effect. In appearance, the structure presents a nearly unaltered vision of the urban bridge design aesthetic of the 1920s. In this regard it retains the seven aspects of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association." (
