Fourth Street Bridge Over Lorena

Posted February 5, 2008, by David Kimbrough (kimbrough-photo [at] charter [dot] net)

Fourth Street has two bridges, one over the Los Angeles River and one over Lorena Street, which had been a streem bed at one point was paved over. This is the Lorena Street crossing bridge for 4th Street. It was built in the mid-20's, about 10 years after the 4th Steet Bridge over the LA River.
