The Luedtke Bridge Over Olsen Road in Thousand Oaks at Cal Lutheran University
The only pedestrian bridge that crosses over a city street in the Conejo Valley is the Luedtke Bridge over Olsen Road in Thousand Oaks.
The bridge connects the main Cal Lutheran campus to the northern campus, which includes University Plaza, William Rolland Stadium and Gallery of Fine Art, the Gilbert Sports and Fitness Center, Lundring Events Center, Samuelson Aquatics Center (including the Community Pool, a partnership with Conejo Recreation and Park District), Hutton Field, George “Sparky” Anderson Baseball Field and Ullman Stadium and Poulson Tennis Courts.
Paid for by an anonymous donor, the bridge was renovated in 2006 and dedicated in honor of President Luther S. Luedtke and Carol Luedtke in recognition of their 14 years of dedicated service to the University. Luedtke served as the fifth president of Cal Lutheran University from 1992 to 2006.
