The All-American Canal Bridge is a bridge that carries Interstate 8 over the All-American Canal, a canal that supplies water from the Colorado River to the agricultural areas of the Imperial Valley. [1]
The bridge is located in Imperial County, California, east of El Centro. The current eastbound was originally built in 1939 as U.S. Route 80; in 1969, the bridge was widened to include freeway shoulders, and the bridge to serve westbound traffic was built as well. [2]
