A proposed 739-feet bridge to span the eastbound 210 freeway diagonally from Santa Anita Avenue may become a landmark gateway sign welcoming people to the San Gabriel Valley. If Measure R funding comes through for this project, construction could begin in Fall 2010. Artists are being asked to submit proposals for the bridge design by the end of next month. Total cost of the bridge is estimated at $20 million and selected artists will receive a $20,000 budget to design the bridge.
