  • Witness more than 42,000 hours of construction in just 4 minutes with this official time-lapse movie of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. Our live streaming video and high definition time-lapse construction cameras have been on site since 2008 to document progress, archiving nearly 2 million images for the $6.4 billion bridge.

    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!

    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!

      @@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).

      @@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.
