Lefty O'Doul Bridge, Bascule bridge in China Basin, San Francisco, United States
The bridge contains five traffic lanes across Mission Creek Channel, with two lanes for northbound vehicles, two for southbound, and one reversible center lane.
Joseph Strauss, who later engineered the Golden Gate Bridge, designed this steel structure that opened on May 12, 1933 with Mayor Angelo Rossi attending.
The bridge received its current name in 1980 to commemorate Francis O'Doul, a baseball player who managed the San Francisco Seals and developed baseball in Japan.
During events at Oracle Park stadium, the two easternmost lanes close to vehicles and transform into pedestrian walkways for improved access to the venue.
The bridge incorporates concrete counterweights and timber fenders on both sides of the channel, with two original harbor master cottages supported on the piers.
