Stevens
Creek Trail Virtual Tour
Bridge over Central Expressway,
Caltrain and Light Rail Tracks and Evelyn Avenue
|

|
|
The engineering
marvel of the Stevens Creek Trail is this bridge spanning four-lane
Central Expressway, two high-speed Caltrain rail tracks, the
VTA light rail tracks and Evelyn Avenue. These corridors effectively
split Mountain View in two until the bridge was built. It spans
1100 feet (nearly 1/4 mile) from end to end. |

A view from the
bridge looking west toward downtown Mountain View. You can see
how impenetrable this area used to be for pedestrians and bicyclists. |

top of the bridge. It was built in sections, with the final section
lowered into place on Christmas Day 1998. |
