Air Mapster embarks on a photo-essay excursion, attempting to capture images of the Bridge to Nowhere from every possible angle.
Built in 1936, this impressive structure was meant to be part of a great highway running through the San Gabriel Mountains, connecting the valley below with the high desert above. However, a massive flood in 1938 washed out the highway, and the project was abandoned, leaving the already completed bridge standing literally in the middle of nowhere.
