Spruce Street Suspension Bridge

Spruce Street Suspension Bridge

Take a walk on the Spruce Street Suspension Street bridge for a unique view of San Diego. This pedestrian bridge is often overlooked, but offers a picturesque view of Sessions Canyon, 70 feet below.

After you've seen all there is to see in San Diego, there's still one more thing to see: a 375-foot-long pedestrian suspension bridge that offers a breathtaking view of Sessions Canyon, 70 feet below. This picturesque bridge, which is often overlooked, is one of a kind.

The Spruce Street Suspension Bridge is held up by cables set into the ground and large concrete slabs in the middle of the city's Bankers Hill area. No one with a phobia of heights should attempt to cross the lengthy bridge, since it hangs precariously over the canyon and may sway slightly in the wind.

This footbridge, completed in 1912 and designed by engineer Edwin Capps, was originally conceived as a means for people to traverse the steep canyon and connect to the newly constructed trolley lines on Fourth and Fifth avenues. It has now been transformed into a well-loved hideaway for couples from all across San Diego.

There are always a lot of people strolling over the bridge, but that just adds to its charisma. Here is all you need to know about it.
