Closeups of 5 of 8 total relief designs.

The relief designs found in the concrete walls supporting the bridge ramps are the result of collaboration between bridge artist Judy Bales and students at nearby Ocotillo Elementary and Maryland Elementary Schools. The relief forms, designed by Judy Bales, were inspired by art works created by students in grades two through four during an artist residency.
