First Street Bridge, Spanning Los Angeles River at First Street, Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, CA
Summary
Significance: First Street Bridge is a Neo-Classical design bridge and is one of the City of Los Angeles bridges that was built as part of the City Beautiful plans of the early 1900s. City Beautiful plans were inspired by the civic architecture of Paris and Rome. These plans sought to beautify United States cities by constructing grand civic monuments, incorporating both building and public works projects.
It is one of a group of reinforced concrete bridges constructed by the City of Los Angeles during a major arch-bridge building program in the late 1920s. An elegant crossing over the Los Angeles River and railroad tracks, the bridge provided access from residential Boyle Heights and the downtown core.
