The 11th Street Bridge is a good example of a multi-span concrete
arch bridge with verticals. It is a continuous span constructed of reinforced
concrete. The roadway decking and guardrails are monolithic. It was altered in
1929 and has ornate guardrails that utilize Art Deco motifs, especially the
Zigzag Art Deco and PWA Classical-oriented Art Deco. Its roadbed is 34 feet wide
and it was labor intensive to build, reflecting a technology and aesthetic
approach to bridge construction no longer in use.
