Lake Alvord Bridge




E.L. Ransome left San Francisco a few years later, frustrated and bitter at the building community's indifference to concrete construction. Ironically, the city's few reinforced concrete structures, including the Lake Alvord Bridge, survived the 1906 Earthquake And Fire in remarkable shape, vindicating Ransome's faith in the method.

The Lake Alvord Bridge, which arches over a pedestrian entrance to San Francisco's Golden Gate Park , was designated a civil engineering landmark by the American Society Of Civil Engineers in the 1970 's.
