Description
July 26, 1967 The shoreline of Coronado is gradually assuming its new shape to accommodate the new San Diego-to-Coronado Bay bridge. Fill sand is being removed from the bottom of the bay and dumped along the edge of a small section of the Coronado Golf Couse. About five-hundred concrete pilings--some of them in 100-foot lengths--are to be built at Long Beach and brought down on a barge. By early next year, there should be 300 men working on the 47-million-dollar bridge. The super structure is expected to be finished by April of 1969. The span will be eleven-thousand feet long--better than two miles in length--and will extend from Fourth Street and Glorietta in Coronado to the vicinity of Crosby Street in San Diego. One and one-quarter million cubic yards of dirt are being moved to prepare the Coronado shore.
