High Street Bridge, Double-leaf bascule drawbridge in Oakland Estuary, US
The High Street Bridge extends 296 feet across the Oakland Estuary, connecting the cities of Oakland and Alameda through a mechanical dual-leaf system.
The Harrison Bridge Company built the first structure in 1894, which was later replaced in 1939 under the Federal WPA Program at a cost of 750,000 dollars.
The bridge stands as one of four essential crossings that shape the daily routines of residents traveling between Oakland and Alameda in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The bridge opens approximately 1,400 times annually for marine traffic, with each leaf capable of reaching a maximum opening angle of 76 degrees.
The structure maintains different clearance levels depending on tide conditions, measuring 14 feet 6 inches at high tide and extending to 21 feet at low tide.
