Description
Photograph of a view of the construction of a bridge across the Arroyo Seco at Avenue Forty-three in Los Angeles, ca.1938. Large concrete abutments are visible at left, while wooden scaffolding can be seen at right. Many workers can be seen near the bottom of the river, along with stacks of lumber. On the banks of the river in the background, many small wooden houses are visible. A large tree-covered ridge is visible in the distance. This bridge was constructed to replace the structure damaged by flood in March, 1938.
