New San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge East Span Opens to Traffic

It's been a long journey from design to completion for the $6.4 billion San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. This video captures the highlights of that journey, from planning and construction, through the unconventional grand opening celebration of this stunning landmark, which will serve the San Francisco Bay Area for generations.

Lol

[@laopang91362]

thank you for quality construction

[@ernakaplan9385]

Thank the 2 Chinese companies.

[@ernakaplan9385]

Why wasn't it mentioned that 2 Chinese companies were chosen after worldwide bidding on this project. They finished it 4 months earlier and better than the plans called for. It saved the government 40 million dollars.

[@ferrochinabisleri1587]

Do we have to expect that also the iconic Golden Gate bridge will go trough this same demolition and replacement process?

[@joshuaalfaro4781]

No

[@charlesball6519]

It's a historic monument, they will try to keep it maintained like new for as long as possible

$7,000,000,000 final cost. Same suspension style could have been done with NON-FUNCTIONAL tower and wires for $700,000,000 by DELETING unneeded wide ship crossing space underneath that required costly construction to accommodate. Since ALL tall ships cross under the west span anyway, $6,300,000,000 was WASTED.

[@XRISTOStot]

@Magnum Jesus rio antirio bridge its OLNY costed under 1 billion euro and it's the biggest on the wold whats wrong with america?

[@Sinxres]

Maybe because they had to install special earthquake-proof equipment to better hold the bridge, which is expensive as hell.

[@UltimateAlgorithm]

7 billion dollars is around 80% of the cost of the new High-speed rail in my country.

[@Guesticle]

Corrupt politicians, and their donors, skimming off the top.

We should all help each other, not be Ebenezer Scrooges. Besides, blue states are supporting red states already.
