Built in 1925 and originally titled the "Ninth Street Bridge," the 1,422' long and 70' wide bridge was renamed in honor of the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. The sidewalk expansion joints were reconstructed in 1945; the railing was replaced in 1955, and restrainers were installed at the joints of approach spans in 1982. Side view of the Olympic Boulevard Bridge on January 7, 1929; it spans over the Los Angeles River from Downtown to Boyle Heights.
