Eastern span replacement of the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge
Eastern span replacement of the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, Suspension bridge in the US
The Eastern span replacement of the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge is a new construction that was designed to withstand high seismic activity.
Completed in 2013, it replaced an old structure that suffered damage during an earthquake in 1989.
The bridge is not only an important transport link, but also a symbol of engineering achievement.
It features a 15.5-foot-wide bike and pedestrian path on its southward-facing side.
It is one of the longest self-anchored suspension bridges in the world.
Official opening: September 2, 2013
