LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Country Club has a North and a South Course, and the two private layouts are bisected by Wilshire Boulevard.
The North is the host venue for the 2023 U.S. Open, and much of the South this week is being used for parking and logistics.
For the 22,000 fans coming on the property for each day of competition, there’s now an easy – though temporary – and safe way to get on site.
The USGA contracted with Southern California-based, Kilowatt Events, Inc., to build a bridge over Wilshire. Measuring 112 feet in length and 24 feet wide, the bridge gives fans access from the main admission gate in Fan Central to the North course.
Wilshire Boulevard runs between the North Course and the South Course at LACC.

The bridge went up over Memorial weekend. The 123rd U.S. Open will conclude Sunday and the three-day project of removing the bridge will start six days later.
