Alvord Lake Bridge is believed to be the oldest existing bridge with steel reinforcing rods in the United States. The structure was built by Ernst L. Ransome in 1889 and sports man-made stalactites in the tunnel portion. The tunnel allows park visitors to pass underneath Kezar Drive without worry of speeding traffic.
