Leimert Bridge, Cement and steel arch bridge in Oakmore neighborhood, Oakland, California.
The Leimert Bridge extends 357 feet across and rises 117 feet above Sausal Creek, connecting different sections of the Oakmore district.
George Posey designed this structure in 1926, making it the largest single-span bridge on the West Coast until the construction of Bixby Creek Bridge.
The bridge represents the early 20th-century development of Oakland's residential areas and became a City of Oakland landmark in 1980.
Multi-use trails of Dimond Canyon pass under the bridge, accessible through both the Dimond Canyon Trail and Old Canon Trail systems.
The Park Boulevard street car line number 18 connected the Oakmore area to central Oakland via this bridge until the late 1940s.
