Route 1 - Big Sur Coast Highway
Bixby Bridge, CA

The Bixby Bridge, completed in 1932, is a marvel of engineering and one of the top ten highest single span bridges in the world. The bridge spans across a large canyon along the Big Sur Coastline, about 18 miles south of Carmel.

The weather conditions can have a noticable impact on the bridge's appearance, whether there are clouds partially hiding it, or sun reflecting off of the gleaming white structural supports. That quality, combined with the massive appearance of the bridge, brings countless people to photograph the bridge.
