Oakland Bay Bridge
Home | Main Categories | Historic Buildings | California | Store
The Bay Bridge opened for traffic in 1936. In 1989, the powerful Loma Prieta earthquake collapsed a section of the east
span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. The bridge was quickly repaired and rebuilt with a resulting design
that is not only striking, but also is uniquely suited to the Bay's challenging geology. With its tower that rises
525 feet above the water and asymmetrical profile, the new bridge is destined to become a distinctive landmark for the San
Francisco Bay Area.
