Opened on August 3, 1969, the San Diego-Coronado Bridge spans 2.12 miles across San Diego Bay, connecting Coronado, CA 92118, to Interstate 5 via State Route 75. Designed by architect Robert Mosher, the bridge rises to a highest point of 246 feet with 200 feet of vertical clearance for Naval vessels, curving 80 degrees to achieve a gradual 4.67-percent grade. Known for its 1970 American Institute of Steel Construction Most Beautiful Bridge Award of Merit, the five-lane structure carries approximately 100,000 vehicles daily and features a reversible center lane managed by a moveable barrier system added in 1993. Construction cost $47.6 million, and tolls were collected westbound until June 27, 2002, when the bridge became free to cross. The bridge delivers drivers directly to Third Street in Coronado, minutes from Coronado Beach, Hotel del Coronado, and Orange Avenue. Once a year, a lane opens for the Navy Bay Bridge Run/Walk, a fundraiser for Navy Morale, Welfare, and Recreation. For views of the bridge from the water, Peohe's at the Coronado Ferry Landing offers direct sightlines from its patio.
