Bixby Creek Bridge
A memorable highlight of travelling the Californian coast through the Big Sur, a 90-mile stretch along which the brooding Santa Lucia Mountains rise steeply out of the thundering Pacific surf, is crossing the Bixby Creek Bridge. When constructed in 1932, this was the longest single-span concrete bridge in the world, and it remains the most impressive (and photogenic) engineering feat of the Coast Road project, a local construction program carried out during the Depression.
