Sunday Bridge Series: link to the estuary

Lake Merritt is a tidal basin fed by the tides in the estuary.  This water way is the link between the lake and the estuary.  It runs through the community college campus, under the Nimitz freeway, and on to the estuary.  Not exactly a picturesque connection, but a vital one.  Submitted to «Louis'» meme where you will find more bridge photos.

    A vital - and (as you well know since you live there) - very busy connection. You really do a great job of pointing out the hidden corners of Oakland; this one being hidden in plain sight. Thousands of drivers pass over this spot daily - but how many have seen it from this angle?
    ;-D

    And it looks well used - most people post bridges devoid of any people or traffic.

    and even the word veri is lorrie!!

    Well I have to say there is beauty in the utilitarian too. Sometimes more so because of its unsung hero status (could I possibly be more philosophical about this?)
