Coronado Bridge
As many of you know, this year is the 40th anniversary of the Coronado Bridge (aka the San Diego Coronado Bay Bridge).
In honor of the anniversary, documentary producers Village Videography, created “San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge”. In this film they cover the bridge debate which started in the 1920’s and continued until 1967 when ground was broken to start the bridge construction.
Even then, as you can see from the film, not everyone was in agreement with the erection of the bridge.
The production also covers the construction, the bridge inauguration in 1969, the creation of Chicano Park beneath the bridge landing, and the bridge’s intense maintenance program.
The film debuted last year on June 10, 2009 at the City of Coronado’s 40th Anniversary Bridge Celebration.
You can see the film for yourself on August 2nd and 3rd on Coronado’s Time Warner Channel 19. It will be broadcast at 3:00pm each day and again at 8:0pm.
You can also purchase a copy of your own from Village Videography or in Coronado at the Coronado Historical Association Museum Store or at Bay Books.
