Shakespeare Bridge, Gothic-style deck arch bridge in Franklin Hills, Los Angeles, US.
The Shakespeare Bridge spans 260 feet in length and 30 feet in width, featuring concrete Gothic arches and turrets along Franklin Avenue.
Constructed in 1926, the bridge underwent substantial reconstruction in 1998 following the Northridge earthquake to enhance its structural stability.
The bridge received designation as Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument number 126 in 1974, reflecting its architectural value to the city.
The structure carries vehicle traffic over a ravine while providing pedestrian access through sidewalks protected by reinforced concrete railings.
Engineers removed expansion joints during the 1998 renovation, creating a single structural diaphragm that better manages seismic forces.
