La Loma Bridge, Concrete arch bridge in Pasadena, United States

La Loma Bridge is a concrete arch bridge in Pasadena that spans the Arroyo Seco, designed with classical architectural features from the early 1900s. The structure uses open spans that keep the valley visible while reinforced concrete supports the entire construction.

The bridge was built in 1914 to replace the older California Street Bridge and connect San Rafael Heights with downtown Pasadena. The project marked an important step forward in the city's transportation during a time of rapid urban growth.

The bridge displays the graceful building style of the early 1900s, with its distinctive arch spanning across the Arroyo Seco. Visitors can observe the classical forms and craftsmanship that were typical of bridge construction from that era.

The best way to explore is on foot, with the sidewalks offering good views into the valley. The bridge is accessible year-round, and the surrounding area has parks where you can rest before or after crossing it.

The bridge's 2017 dedication honours John van de Kamp, a Pasadena native and former California Attorney General who died on 14 March 2017, three months before the reopening. The structure is also known as the "little sister" of the 1913 Colorado Street Bridge, which it closely resembles.
