San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge westbound

The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge is a complex of bridges spanning San Francisco Bay between the cities of San Francisco and Oakland. One of America's most impressive engineering achievements, the complex was built at practically the same time as the nearby Golden Gate Bridge and opened to traffic in 1936.
The bridge has two sections of roughly equal length; the older western section connects downtown San Francisco to Yerba Buena Island and the newer eastern section connects the island to Oakland. The western section is a double suspension bridge with two decks, westbound traffic being carried on the upper deck while eastbound is carried on the lower level. The largest span of the original eastern section was a cantilever bridge. During the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, a portion of the eastern section's upper deck collapsed onto the lower deck and the bridge was closed for a month. Replacement of the eastern section of the bridge as a causeway connected to a self-anchored suspension bridge began in 2002, with the project being completed in 2013.

Why am I watching this? I cross this at least five times a week, lol. Nice video. I don’t miss the old span anymore.

[@user-it4iz7pv1g]

I wish I could cross this Bridge once in my life 😂

[@Noble_Jedi83]

I haven’t been across the Bay Bridge since March ‘95 when I was 11 years old, I’ve been a lot of places, but there’s no weather like Northern California… thanks for uploading this beautiful video

[@cjtj4700]

It's really a quite beautiful bridge

[@nenblom]

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BRIDGE!! I just listened to “Save Me, San Francisco” by Train. One of my favorite songs! 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸 I would love to take a ride on the Bay Bridge. Unfortunately, I live in Pennsylvania. I have been in San Francisco though. Had a great time! We just didn’t have time to cross this bridge.

They should replace those barriers so you can see Marin County and Golden Gate Bridge in the background.

[@jocelynsalcedo4179]

I don’t know how they say the Golden Gate Bridge is bigger. This bridge is way longer. We crossed the golden gate in like a minute or 2

[@californiamade5608]

The Golden Gate Bridge is taller at 746 feet. The Bay Bridge is only 526 feet tall. When the Golden Gate Bridge opened, it was the longest/tallest in the world.

[@jaur168]

The Golden Gate Bridge has a longer main span than the Bay Bridge.

[@rwboa22]

@@jaur168 the Golden Gate Bridge has one single main span, while the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge has two. With newer technologies (mainly due to using orthotropic decks like that used on the new Carquinez Bridge span) the suspension spans constructed back in the 1930s could now be superceded by a single span that would be longer than the Golden Gate Bridge.

[@Ktallica]

When it comes to suspension bridges it’s all about the suspended span.
