Spruce Street Suspension Bridge

The Spruce Street Suspension Bridge, colloquially known as the Wiggly Bridge, is a historic 375 ft long footbridge in the Bankers Hill neighborhood of San Diego. It was built in 1912 by Edwin M. Capps. It can hold a maximum of 327,900 lbs and crosses Kate Sessions Canyon. It was designated a San Diego Historic Landmark in 1977.

History
Edwin M. Capps, a two-time mayor of San Diego, designed the bridge in 1911 to allow pedestrians to cross Kate Sessions Canyon, which separated neighborhoods from the Fourth and Fifth Avenues' streetcar lines. It also connected Bankers Hill to eastern schools. The bridge was built in 1912. In 1976, the city reported that the bridge was checked for damages every three months, as flanges were occasionally broken due to people swinging the bridge back and forth. These flanges are not crucial to the bridge's survival, so it is not very important if they are damaged. The bridge was closed from April 2020 to February 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
