The Arroyo Seco Parkway connects Los Angeles , Pasadena through the historic Arts and Crafts landscape of the Arroyo Seco.
Conceived in the parkway tradition with gentle curves, lush landscaping and the scenic vistas, the byway incorporated the modern elements that would lay the groundwork for the California freeway system.
The parkway is located in between the four-level interchange in downtown Los Angeles and Glenarm Street in Pasadena.
It represents a transitional time in this history when the parkways becames freeways. Because of its engineering significance, it was designated a historic engineering landmark by the American Society of the Civil Engineers in 1999.
