Notes
  • Significance: The Henry Ford Bridge (Badger Avenue Bridge) is one of only two surviving Strauss double-leaf bascule railroad bridges in North America. It was an important transportation link in the Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor, which in 1923 was beginning its growth into one of the world's key port facilities. The designer of the bridge, Joseph Strauss, was also the designer of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California.
