Pacific Electric Railroad Bridge
Pacific Electric Railroad Bridge, Railway bridge in Torrance, California, US
The Pacific Electric Railroad Bridge spans Torrance Boulevard at Bow Avenue, featuring a double-tracked arch design and remnants of original railway tracks.
Built in 1913 by architect Irving Gill, this bridge formed part of the San Pedro via Gardena Line, the Pacific Electric Railway's first interurban connection to San Pedro.
The bridge structure represents modern architectural movement principles and stands as the second Torrance property listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
The bridge location at the intersection of Torrance Boulevard and Bow Avenue serves as a reference point for visitors exploring the historical district.
This bridge marks the only location in the Pacific Electric system where tracks crossed over themselves to reach a steel mill positioned on higher ground.
