National Register #84000903
Alexander-Acacia Bridge
AKA Alexander Avenue Overhead
AKA Bridge No. 27C-150
Alexander Avenue between Acacia and Monte Vista Avenues
Larkspur
Built: 1927
The Alexander-Acacia Bridge is a two-lane bridge which allowed automobiles
to pass over the now-abandoned Northwestern Pacific Railroad right-of-way.
John C. Oglesby designed the bridge which was built in 1927. According
to the 1984 National Register nomination, this bridge is "one of only
five such bridge types known to exist in California," and it "possesses
integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling
and association."
The old railroad right-of-way is now a popular and pleasant place to walk,
jog or bike.
