Description
Many superstitions are associated with bridges because they symbolize the journey from life to death. It was once believed that the "Devil" would take the soul of the first person to cross a newly built bridge. To prevent this from happening, animals were herded across the bridge first. Additionally, bridge builders would add wine, a coin, or a bit of iron to the mortar used to place the keystone, in order to ensure the bridge's future good fortune.
This bridge is located in Santa Clarita, California
