Cabrillo Bridge was constructed for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, showcasing San Diego's potential as a major city.
The bridge stands 120 feet tall to allow for the passage of trains and trolleys underneath during its early years.
Spanning 450 feet, Cabrillo Bridge offers breathtaking views of Balboa Park and the San Diego skyline.
There's a hidden pedestrian tunnel beneath the bridge, once used by maintenance workers.
Cabrillo Bridge was one of the first in the U.S. to use a pioneering concrete cantilever design.
Before becoming a pedestrian walkway, it was part of the main route into San Diego.
It's named after the explorer Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo, who was the first European to navigate the California coast.
