The Picture Bridge at the Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena has won a 2023 Historic Preservation Award from the City of Pasadena. The awards recognize excellent historic preservation projects that stand out in their neighborhoods and raise awareness of the importance of preserving Pasadena’s architectural heritage. The project will be recognized at an award ceremony at The Langham Huntington Hotel on May 25. 

IMEG provided structural engineering design for the multi-million-dollar restoration and rehabilitation, meeting current seismic codes and saving as much of the original bridge as possible. The design included a new steel reinforcement system covered with wood to retain the original appearance of the historic bridge. 

The project previously won a Preservation Design Award from the California Preservation Foundation. Read more about IMEG’s involvement here.
