hi, dvbutanero- i also thought that this video was really cool, so i searched some other ones up; here's a video of the construction of the new tappan zee bridge (mario cuomo bridge) in two minutes (th-cam.com/video/vwCH31qikuM/w-d-xo.html). hope u enjoy!
Unlike you
I was 17 fresh outta high school and got into the trades! This was my first construction job ever. That was 12 years ago! Now 29 and feel proud every time I pass that bridge!!
Nice job on the bridge work!
Which local ?
@@joseluisvargas8234 laborers 261 San Francisco, ca but I switched over to local 22 carpenters 7 years ago
You should be so proud! It was an amazing project - while never really ever stopping traffic, a feat in and of itself.
How much u get paid for tha whole time u were there??
Wow! As a bay area native, it's crazy how the bay bridge has been a part of my life. My dad and oldest brother rode the last F-Train that went across the bridge...the lower deck used to be for trains, buses and trucks. My middle son and I were at the World Series when the quake happened. Driving over the bridge, seeing this video...wow, what a great place to live!
When my sister and I were kids, we called this "the crane bridge" and loooved to count the cranes as we drove across it with our dad. The new bridge opened up right before we learned to drive, and I am just in awe every time I cross it. Great video of a great bridge!
OC Jones is proud to be a part of this historic project. We did the original paving project back in the 1970's and we were excited to be able to do it again this year!
Beautiful and hi tech. The bridge is designed to last 150 years and withstand 8.3 scale earth quake, and immediately functional and operational after any (imagined) earthquakes below 8.3 scale. The steel modular so are also hi tech, with spectacular precision. Engineers on site are deeply impressed that, for example, the 146,000 nut-and-bolts, fixers all perfectly aligned when installing, not even one fixer has 0.1% error!
This is an amazing piece of engineering and construction. 'Well done' to everyone involved.
Peter Wang wow your very smart I'm...
🤔DUMB I ain't as smart as that like Come on!!
Great Information!!..
Peter Wang man google really helps you
Eric Lee no only some of the steel, however it was designed by Americans
thats pretty cool
Thats right
Former truck driver. The old bay bridge was always intimidating to me
🤣 it looks intimidating through the screen! There’s also this one bridge in Delaware or Maryland that’s pretty scary to drive over as well. Did it a couple times going to vacation from NY to Virginia
Michael S yeah the Chesapeake bay bridge
At least you weren't the truck driver that died from the S-curve ... it's amazing how well they hide this info.
Such a challenge! Thanks for all your effort in producing this incredible video!
Great video, friend! There are times when nothing better illuminates your path than a burning bridge. Enjoy your travels and good mood!
This video made me feel really happy.
Stunning! Thank you for filming that incredible feat!
Awesome. Thank you to all the people who built this CITY!
Now this is one hell of a time-lapse ! We need one of our jobs to be this big to record !
Amazing.. thanks for capturing this
Can't wait to see the time-lapse video of the old eastern span of the Bay Bridge being dismantled!
Why would they take it down? The amount of traffic is only going to increase over time. Maybe use it for Commercial vehicles only or HOV traffic, or a rail line?
@@rhianimal19 It's been gone for years. It wasn't safe anymore because it's too old. It's been damaged by earthquakes and people have died from sections collapsing.
Thank you for the amazing work!
Videos like this are really inspirational.... but they also make me feel so, so insignificant.
Wow - I have to plan a trip to the bay area just so I can drive across this wonderful, beautiful new bridge! Nice job to all who were a part of this project.
It was a video that made me feel refreshed while watching.
Totally awe-inspiring video music was spot on.
Thanks
In Wikipedia "San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge", not even one word was mentioned that this bridge was built by two Chinese companies.
I love out bridge so very much! I'm so proud of it when I drive on it! An amazing feat of engineering and building. A symbol of pride.
A civil engineers heaven, this account
SIMPLESMENTE LINDA CONSTRUÇÃO !
Excellent!
Warriors logo looking BEAUTIFUL!!
Amazing!!!
Wow, that's an very impressive, totally awesome bridge video. I would definitely have to check out this bridge in the near future, when I make my trip out to the San Francisco bay area. :-)
Beautiful. Love the foggy days flashing by periodically! I love SF.
Superb engineering achievement.
***** You don't know me. What did you achieve except spamming the Internet? Impressive.
@Paul Smith brainwashed dumbass
@WetLikeWater Well Paul Smith is partially correct. A lot of the steel was sourced in China, but I don’t know if it was cheap.
@@eatham2261 It wasn't cheap. It cost 10 billion to just choose the design and another 10 billion to build. It was built by china and it won't survive the next earthquake.
@@fernarias The US can't build no shit nowadays.The total cost was $ 6.4 B and you're freaking lazy to search..
I can't tell you enough how cool it was driving by and seeing that construction every time I visited San Fransisco. I am sad that the old bridge is probably no longer there now but it was just too unsafe after that last earthquake. It will never be forgotten
There’s a demolition video of the old bridge
Fantastic!!!
Wow... neat video. Thanks for sharing!
5 years later and the bridge is still beautiful
Brilliant piece of work
All You Need To know are you joking this Bridge is literally falling apart after only a few years
Very Cool Time Lapse
WOWWOWOWOWWWWW. this is an incredible video!
That's impressive!
Incredible!
This is amazing video to watch and see.
It seems like they had great idea to build the bridge.
They are more likely to reveal as well.
amazing :O
Awesome!
I remember my pap taking my up there during construction when I was 13. He was the supply manager for American Bridge at the time
Thank you great video thumbs up all the way ,nicely done keep smiling with lol politely & safely
Great achieved results of a beautiful bridge.
This gives you a really good idea of what the weather is like in the bay area...
Great job SF! More new toll road bridge
Super cool
25 years of a job well milked all packed into 4 minutes
25yrs? it sounds like forever for me
@@xiaolongzhang3411 - Yeah no. It was about 10.5 years in total, and only about 6.5 years of actual construction (because of delays, work stoppages, cost overruns, politics, legal issues, etc.). Ironically, the bridge could have been paid for largely with U.S. Federal Tax Dollars (infrastructure grants, as it qualified being a Federal Highway). But the costs (bids) to build the steel modular sections and tower sections was so high, the State of California ultimately had those sections fabricated by Chinese suppliers (also loosing the Federal Grants, which had the requirement to receive them, that the entire bridge (and all infrastructure projects), must be "Made in America". The State of California could have worked it out, but our politicians are incompetent idiots. And even with the sections made in China (at a supposed large cost savings), the cost overruns were near what they would have been - if they had just gone with the American Suppliers/Fabricators in the first place; And it likely would have been done sooner. The issue there is: They couldn't budget or finance the fabrication of either the American or Chinese Bids, (as it was $Billions more than they originally expected/budgeted for), -hence the major delay (until they later eventually acquired the funds/ comittments).
5 years. th-cam.com/video/arMl13UlOAo/w-d-xo.html
@@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO china built longest bridge of 60 kilometre in just 9 years what a joke your are
@@economykho2845 - You're an idiot. Don't you think I know that? We are not talking about China. You are comparing apples to oranges. First off, it's 55 Kilometers. Not 60. Secondly, the purposes of the bridges are totally different. In the case of the SF-OAK Bay Bridge we are in an active seismic zone where a major Earthquake (potentially the largest one in our history) could happen tomorrow. The goal was simple to replace an old section of the Bay Bridge (not to build a new bridge). The original SF Bay Bridge when built in the early 1930s, was the largest and longest bridge in the world. What was China building then? Oh that's right, they weren't. Communists were taking over the country and America and Europe was building China from long before then, to the present day.
There was already a bridge there (not true with the HKZM Bridge). The goal was simply to replace an old span and build a bridge that could withstand and Earthquake. Millions of people in HK/M/China, didn't want the HK/Z/Macau Bridge, believing correctly that 1) it was a waste of money 2) few people would actually use it 3) It would never pay for itself 4) 19 People died (and probably many more the CCP didn't disclose). Typically zero die or rarely 1 or 2 people die, on American Infrastructure projects (and those of other Western countries). 4) There was massive cost overruns, corruption, and environmental damage. So many other things I won't list.
But it remains a very impressive infrastructure project nonetheless (but isn't comparable in any way to the Eastern Span Bay Bridge Replacement project.
Sensacional!
Really cool Time-Lapse, I love watching things being built.
On a side note I am surprised Google being a Bay Area company would not have updated the street views by now. At least they have updated Google Maps to reflect the new bridge as the new route but I was looking forward to strolling across the bridge with their cool street view feature.
A great bridge between two great cities. Proud to be from the Bay!
is BEAUTIFUL! is amazing ,
These videos are satisfying...
Love time lapses. Hope this bridge lasts!
it's amazing
Together we are some truly awesome creators
Cantilever structure will never die ! !!!!
Vintage forever ! !!!!!!!
Amazing engineering(human brains)at its best.
Nice video.
Good time lapse
The moment the bridge connects must be a very satisfying feeling
HUMANS ARE AMAZING!!!
I've watched this construction for all the years as soon as the cameras were put up I was lucky enough to drive over while the temporary span was there I missed the movement by a few weeks but came back a year later while they just started putting the cables on the new span hopefully I'll get back there soon and drive over the new bridge
This is by far one of my top five favorite bridges on the planet
It Was Beautiful
amazing Construction..🇮🇩
Brings back nice memories from SF...
very nice
Superb
Extraordinary
That was BANANAMOUS!!!
Very nice indeed.
Quase 5 anos de trabalho, muito bom!
Nice.
good job. feel much safer now.
nice video
Wow ...very nice....ziaur Rahman
Una obra maestra
I love it when a plan comes together...
I was on that bridge last April 2019.....
Me parece increible como es que se puedan construir esos puentes y con la facilidad que lo realizan; no hay duda que son Genios
😯
No words to say
Absolutely amazing.
Hopefully they solved the salt water collection issue.
I saw myself driving at 2:49!
Engineers, architects, construction workers, ... everyone involved, amazingly done! Humans can do a lot!
that i so cool!!
That's nice
wooow cool
Was going to drive over today during opening day but the traffic was to bad I took the san mateo bridge.. Next time!!
I see that construction sight all the time I been on the old bay bridge now and the new one
I remember standing on the San Francisco Bridge almost 30 yrs. ago. I won't forget that it rocked lightly. And I saw Alcatraz Prison in the distance.
No quedo ni el recuerdo del puente que cruce hace 35 años via a Oakland.gran video
Awsome
This feels more recent than it acctually was
this bridge is absolutely fascinating. does everything in us has to have such a huge dimention/? :) i am from europe, and here everything is generally...smaller. yep, i am absolutely fascinated by the creation of such a thing. Great man's work! would love to see that live. btw, when was the older bridge created? as far as i know it's about to be torned down, rigght? i read it in the scinetific journal here in Poland, and "destroying" it in a proper manner doesn't seem to be eeasier t all than building. really interesting. greetings! and i love the "rough " style of the first sf-oakland bridge.
The original bridge was built in 1936. 6 months before the Golden Gate Bridge.
Yes, because of all the cars.
Yeah, cause America LOVES CARS SO MUCH! I wish we were more like Amsterdam.
yay area!
I didn't even paid attention in this bridge in Watch Dogs 2
So much planning and math. Very cool.
un dia conoceré por alla.. hermosos lugares
