I was asked if I had any more shots of the bridges in my post 'Bridges over and bridges under'. As it happens I have although I would not necessarily have been posting them but for information only here they are.

Thanks for posting these. The designs go from ornate cast iron arch to (very ugly) plate steel truss to a modern "harp arch" style (?) . . . . a very bridge-congested area, I imagine it'd be impossible to create a beautiful, scenic bridge photo, what with all the architecture tripping over itself here.

 

For me, just seeing the structures is interesting (if not photo-artistic), so thanks for these.

 

PS . . . I can't see that "harp arch" as being structural . . . must be just ornamental, I think.

The older bridges probably date back to the late 1800's and carry trains and the local metrolink tram service. The new bridge is a footbridge whose style is at odds with every other bridge in that location. For those who like variety a good thing but for keeping to the heritage of the area not the best look.
