Harbor Drive Pedestrian Bridge, Pedestrian bridge in downtown San Diego, United States.

The Harbor Drive Pedestrian Bridge is a self-anchored suspension bridge for pedestrians and cyclists in downtown San Diego, spanning the San Diego Trolley and San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway. Its 550-foot length includes a 350-foot main span, with a curved concrete deck suspended on the inside curve by a single pair of cables from one 131-foot pylon set at a 60-degree angle. Stairs and elevators connect the deck to the ground.

Completed in March 2011, the bridge was built so pedestrians on Park Boulevard could cross six sets of railroad tracks and Harbor Drive safely. It finished the "Park to Bay Link", a long-term plan to run a public parkway along Park Boulevard between Balboa Park and San Diego Bay. Reyes Construction built it, T.Y. Lin International engineered it and Safdie Rabines Architects designed it, at a cost of $26.8 million with a $6 million California Transportation Commission grant.

The bridge completes the "Park to Bay Link", a planners' vision of a green parkway along Park Boulevard joining Balboa Park to San Diego Bay. Its name comes from Harbor Drive, the road it crosses beside Petco Park and the Convention Center. Look for the stainless-steel finish and lighting above and below the deck.

The bridge is reached by stairs or elevators at each end, so it works for wheelchairs and bicycles as well as walkers. It carries Park Boulevard over six lanes of Harbor Drive, a rail yard and San Diego Trolley tracks, linking East Village with the waterfront near Petco Park and the Convention Center.

The deck is suspended only along its inner curve by a single pair of cables, which run to one 131-foot pylon set into the ground at a 60-degree angle. The 550-foot crossing, with a 350-foot main span, is among the longest self-anchored pedestrian bridges in the world.
