  Extract from http://www.ci.glendale.ca.us/government/planning/reg3.pdf, page 37:
  Three examples of the rare Vierendeel Truss bridge type exist in Glendale. These may be the only ones remaining in the United States.
  ...
  The bridges span the Verdugo Wash at Glenoaks Boulevard, Geneva Street, and Kenilworth Avenue. They are of identical construction. Each bridge has one span of 95 feet which contains two traffic lanes.
  ...
  The three Glendale Vierendeel bridges are significant historic resources. The California Department of Transportation has determined that they are eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places because of the purpose they serve and for their design and construction.
