📝 Case Notes

Haunted Lineage note: Previously listed as "The over pass over Pasadena Free way". The official name is Colorado Street Bridge. The address and listing title were updated to reflect the correct official name and location at Colorado Street Bridge, Pasadena.

Designed by the J.A.L. Waddell firm and opened in 1913, the Beaux-Arts style Colorado Street Bridge spans 1,467 feet across the Arroyo Seco canyon. Originally part of Route 66 until 1940, the 150-foot-tall structure tragically earned the nickname "Suicide Bridge" due to over 100 people leaping to their deaths, beginning with a worker who allegedly fell into wet concrete during construction. It was renovated and reopened in 1993 with a suicide-prevention rail, and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
