The Harbor Drive Pedestrian Bridge crosses Harbor Drive at Park Boulevard in San Diego, California

baseball stadium crossing to and from parking areas on the other side of Harbor Drive at the Hilton Bayfront Hotel.
The bridge also crosses over the train and San Diego Metropolitan Transit System
trolley tracks
and connects the convention center
with the Gaslamp Quarter and the East Village.
The bridge is suspended from a single 131' tall pylon set into the ground at a 60 degree angle.
