In December 2012, the new Gold
Line Bridge which will carry the Gold
Line light rail trains across the Foothill (210) Freeway near Santa Anita
Avenue was dedicated. What an interesting creation, a gateway to the San Gabriel
Valley. Anchored by two (2) 25 – foot tall baskets that pay tribute to the
indigenous Gabrielino Indian tribe of the San Gabriel Valley. The 584 – foot
long sculptural structure spans the eastbound lanes of the Foothill (210) Fwy.
The underside reflects patterns on the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake.
Daily, 255,000 drivers will pass and enjoy this publicly
funded work of art. The bridge cost $18.6 million and was built on time and on
budget! Now that is encouraging news.
