The bridge spans the San Diego Bay, connecting San Diego and Coronado Island, and is 2.12 miles long. Highway 75 passes through the bridge and intersects with Interstate 5 in San Diego. The 200-foot clearance in the middle of the bridge is enough for the tallest ships to pass. The bridge cost $50 million and was started in February 1967. It was completed and opened to traffic on August 3, 1969, and quickly became a local landmark. Due to its unique bridge towers and graceful curves, the bridge won the Excellence Award from the American Institute of Steel Construction in 1970.
