San Francisco Bay Bridge Time Lapse

Drew Rogge, a co-worker of mine, wrote a little script to grab the images from the Bay Bridge construction project and put it together into a movie.
The images were from the Bay Bridge Public Information webcam: baybridgeinfo.o...

I haven't been over this bridge in 7 years, it's truly an awesome bridge to cross, pretty amazing.

[@Irondo11]

It's amazing that they did this in 4 days over the Labor Day weekend...wow!

[@denny906]

I haven't been out to Frisco in years but I remember going over this bridge once while out there in the early 60's.

[@myksweet]

The camera took this footage from treasure island (TI). The bridge that is being replaced is from Oakland to TI. The lanes go from here through a 2 decker tunnel on TI onto a bridge from TI to SF (not being replaced). Both sides have always been 2 levels. In the vid, the section on the right and the part they moved into place are temps, so they can connect the new brigde being built next to the old, to TI. The temp part cost 300 mil. The new bridge will not be 2 levels until meeting the tunnel

[@trafficstripes]

Cool time lapse video. I was involved on this project installing the traffic strping !

[@brosephjames]

Wow, what do you need to get 5 stars on youtube a jonas brothers soundtrack? This is once in a lifetime footage. of a bridge project that will persist into the next century.

[@porschefan102]

they certainly do, my dad's company uses them for projects, they work fast and do an excellent job.

[@driveoffacliff]

if you look closely you can see the new bridge in the background behind the truss....new bridge goes into old tunnel..detour is built to divert traffic.. so they can build constantly.

[@tormentes0ulx]

good to see that construction went smooth. the upload could have used some music though

[@fiksep]

This is an awesome video, good work!

[@MrHairymanback]

bridge building seems like a worth-while job

[@Tonyaahhh]

Who would of thought, some hundreds of years back, that we would be capable of doing this.
I gotta say, for the first time in a while, I'm gonna give humans some credit. :)

[@cyclona23]

Bad Brains' self-titled album is a really good soundtrack to this.

[@jcgamer892]

(sorry forgot about this) nice, wish our construction workers were that devoted to there job. it takes ours 9 mouths to do the same job

[@terickfic]

yeah thanks to everyone who worked on bridge cuz it was a nightmare going to other ways to sf :) thanks again

[@JoeBernard10]

Awesome. I was hoping somebody would do this!

[@GAMEOFDRONES1]

Rain or shine ,Day and night nice vid.

[@jcgamer892]

i'm in montana most of the people that have moved here within the past 3 yrs. are from 'cali'. and i have been to califoria.

[@nanosec111]

Portbalto is correct! They used Dove liquid soap to lubricate the span for easy movement. True!

[@ojeestudio]

Wow - amazing!

[@thrummer1953]

If only CalTrans workers moved this fast in real life! I'm glad they discovered that crack though.

[@gruntmasta]

its maintained by anyone who wins the bids for the job... CalTrans usually wins,but they work so slowly, and drag everything on for months or years at a time

[@codeagent47]

well done!

[@EuroRocket]

good job caltrans!

[@JohnBare]

amazing!

[@CW5XKnex]

Immpressive and you had to see what happened next, extremely cool. 5/5 from me.

[@horaciovel]

Maravilloso!

[@vladimir2366fa]

hi, the movies is excellent, thanks ★★★★★

[@squalea]

cool vid, thanks for posting :)

[@yuareyummyy]

wow. they must've really worked really hard.

[@billeybop]

I could not see what was happening because it moved too fast. It should have been slowed down to appreciate the effects to enabe us to see if we could ID any of the guys workin' on it!

[@CW5XKnex]

Yeah uhh they fitted a new part, if you don't like engineering time lapses then that's not my problem.

[@ghostrid3]

they say go 55 on the bridge but people go minimum 65 and rest speed at 70-80, the turn looks a little sharp to me

[@AnotherCopierOfM13]

Civil engineering FTW!

[@ServisSuperheat]

I would love to take a look at the script

[@lighangel]

2:14~2:18 is sooo cool
not the bridge but how it changed from day to night

[@xXshermanaterXx]

that was cool

[@secretquark]

its a temporay by-pass for the next 3 years while the new bridge is completed.

[@spikonaleash]

wow it only took them 3 minutes and 46 seconds to do this wow just playin

[@whaks14]

World's Toughest Fixes

[@RoyalHim]

I thought they were building a new bridge?
What are they doing?

[@telj1]

Cool

[@wright0340]

damn they are working hard

[@Nnexxxx]

So your cousin who lives in california has never been to california? How does she do that?

[@revolutionzerox]

thats insane..

[@NIVPsalm51]

check out 1:58 -2:00
Seems the Galactic Federation is checking on the progress.

[@bodryn]

I hear on Ed's show that they are using Chinese steel.

[@WarsharkProductions]

Neat-O!

[@dunti21]

In case you didn't know, humans made the machines....

[@drvrprmt]

no i dont know. the engineers go though extenive testing to make sure it is stable. they dont ganble with peoples lives

[@nazmcnasty]

crazy

[@hemirango]

its there for good luck

[@purestr8str]

can't you see it was done under 4 mins ?

[@yellow_airman]

yup =]

[@CHUCKLOVES1969]

WHAT IF I TOLD U....my mother's father was a major contributor in designing and constrution of the SF Bay Bridge. he also did the one in Spokane?...i'm from Chicago and my mom's father was president of a company there called Bates and Roger's...and i had a book all about the company,,but lost it,,and would love anyone to tell me any info..mom was given thousands of the usa .50 cent commenerative coin honoring the first floating bridge back in 1936 ?,,the first coin issued of that kind.any help?

[@fr8nk1e]

get your facts straight before you say anything. The Bay Bridge is owned by the state of California. It is maintained by CalTrans.

[@jsetvideo]

it's like watching paint dry

[@resellworld]

okay
okay
we got it
we know what you meant
,......it was only a joke....just like the whole "UFO" idea

[@globaltrance092]

Bay Area people Holla!

[@RadiantSilverlighter]

whole, not hole.

[@resellworld]

or an airplane
or a helicopter
or a bird
no, wait......Its Superman!!!!!!

[@LuisGarcia-en9yl]

@brainburrito yes!!!!!!!lol

[@Gojirobe]

It could have been a bird, ya know...

[@Nac1xem]

Lmao they just slided a piec of it out

[@yengacha]

like ants.... building something..

[@misterpers0n]

speed hax

[@Mrarchab]

o k

[@PhoBoDacBiet]

whats yyour parents names lol

[@brainburrito]

@bodryn If thats true we're all gonna die lol

[@gymer15]
