When
Mission Bay Park was planned, it was
determined that the bridge between South
Mission and Ocean Beach would have to be
demolished in order to allow sailboats to
travel in and out of the bay. Draw bridges and
tunnels were studied, but determined to be too
expensive. This photo, NOT taken by Howard
Rozelle, is dated May 5, 1950. The Army Corps
of Engineers has done much of the work on the
Flood Control Channel and the old bridge is
still standing. The old streetcar tracks
through Famosa Slough can be seen at the south
end of the bridge. To this day, OBCEANS have
to drive out to Ingraham Street and back west
over the Glen Rick Bridge to get to Mission
Beach.
