The Gold Line Bridge is a 584-foot bridge that spans the eastbound I-210 Freeway in Arcadia, California. The $18.6 million dual-track bridge is the first completed element of the 11.5-mile Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension light rail project from Pasadena to Azusa, providing a connection between the existing Sierra Madre Villa Station in Pasadena and the future Arcadia Station. The Foothill Extension is overseen by the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority, an independent transportation agency responsible for the project’s planning, design, and construction. The Construction Authority, with the involvement of award-winning public artist Andrew Leicester, envisioned the Gold Line Bridge as a vivid expression of the community, past and present. This pioneering collaboration resulted in the creation of a sculptural bridge built for the same cost originally estimated for a more conventional structure of its size. The Gold Line Bridge was built by Skanska USA, one of the largest general contractors and construction managers in the country. The company hired Los Angeles-based AECOM to be the lead architectural and engineering firm for the project and transform the Construction Authority’s vision into a constructible reality. The design for the bridge was approved in November 2011 and site preparation began in April of that year. On budget and on schedule, the bridge was completed in December 2012.

In the last decade millions of dollars have been spent on restoring and revitalizing the Los Angeles River and its surroundings. Dozens of parks, miles of bike trails, public art installations and hundreds of trees and plants follow the river as it winds 51 miles through more than 100 communities. Down by the Los Angeles River is the first on-the-ground guide to checking out sites new and old, and getting to know the historic river that runs through greater L.A. The book includes striking original illustrations as well as maps. Twenty-seven walks and twelve bike rides along the Los Angeles and its tributaries, each with directions to the starting point and descriptions of natural, historic, and artistic features along the way. The river paths are already popular for walkers and joggers, bicyclists, dog-walkers, historians and bird-watchers—a readymade audience for this one-of-a-kind book.
