Eastern span replacement of the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge
Eastern span replacement of the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, Suspension bridge in San Francisco Bay Area, United States
The eastern span of the Bay Bridge features a self-anchored suspension design with a single tower connecting Oakland to Yerba Buena Island.
Following damage from the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, officials initiated the replacement project, which opened in September 2013 after eleven years of construction.
The bridge includes a pedestrian and bicycle path allowing visitors to experience San Francisco Bay views while traveling between Oakland and Yerba Buena Island.
The structure carries approximately 270,000 vehicles daily across Interstate 80, providing essential transportation between San Francisco and Oakland metropolitan areas.
At 258.33 feet wide and containing ten traffic lanes, this engineering achievement holds the record for the widest bridge in the world.
