The Bixby Bridge, Big Sur California on Hwy 101, famous from the opening credits in the show.  The completion of a coastal highway called 101 depended on spanning five canyons, one of which was Bixby Creek Canyon.  The bridge was built in 1932 and endures to the present.  In 2000 the bridge under went a seismic facelift for $5.2 million.  View and listen to a short documentary on building the bridge here .
