The Lewis Avenue Bridge in Atascadero California, a $6.2 Million suspension bridge, was built to link downtown Atascadero to a new retail center. The retail center and bridge were considered vital to the revitalization of the Downtown of the city and the projected increase in tax revenues for the city topped $300,000.

The “Tied-Arch” bridge spanning the Atascadero Creek is held up by two 42″ diameter steel pipes from which cables suspend supporting the bridge structure. With a unique look and the highest quality of construction Adams & Smith is proud to have furnished and erected the steel for a project that had a major impact on the city of Atascadero and surrounding areas.

Badger Bridge

The Badger bridge in the port of Los Angeles was originally constructed in 1924 and served as the only rail road link to Terminal Island. Adams & Smith was contracted in 1996 to replace the bridge and furnished and erected the steel for it.

The neighboring bridge is the Heim Bridge and handles vehicular traffic. The two bridges run parallel to each other, crossing the Cerritos Channel to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

More Information about these two historic bridges can be found at The Port of Los Angeles, or at this Virtual History Tour.
