Did you know that the Coronado Bridge, located in San Diego, California, is a bridge that connects the city of San Diego with Coronado Island? Opened in 1969, it spans 3.4 km (2.1 miles) and rises 61 meters (200 feet) above San Diego Bay at its highest point, allowing large vessels to pass underneath.
Its curved, design was intended to extend the length of the bridge and avoid a steep incline, making it easier for vehicles to cross. This bridge is an important symbol for the region and offers spectacular panoramic views of the bay, downtown San Diego, and the Pacific Ocean.
