New San Luis Rey River Bridge, Oceanside, CA

Finally... The new bridge from Oceanside Harbor to North Pacific Street outside North Coast Village is completed AND the old earthen "Arizona crossing" has been opened up to allow the river to flow (somewhat) freely to the Pacific Ocean. The views just keep getting better and better. We are looking forward to seeing what happens in the wildlife habitat restoration corner, and of course to the great surf break right by the breakwater.

In this photo, taken from North Coast Village "G" landing, the new bridge is in the right side in the middle, and the opening to the ocean is in the left side directly opposite. It looks like just a portion of the crossing was removed fully, and perhaps nature will take it's course on the rest.
