Expert Paving: Lombard Street, the Most Crooked Road in the Word

An expertly paved road might not always attract attention, yet Lombard Street in San Francisco gets visitors from all over the world. The street makes a steep climb in a series of switchbacks. It offers views of the Russian Hill neighborhood’s mansions and gardens.

Due to the extremely steep incline, builders designed the road to allow vehicles to safely climb and descend the hill in stages, driving a series of hairpin curves from one end of the hill to the other.

Lombard street stands out as a San Francisco landmark. Tourists visit the street to drive down its crooked length. The road gives travelers views of some of this California city’s finest homes. The scenic street is landscaped with hedges and flowers, adding to its scenic appeal and making it a favorite spot for photographs.
