Bay Bridge View, Looking East
FogBay's first post featured the Golden Gate Bridge. This, the one hundredth post, features the Bay Bridge. The Bay Bridge is actually two spans, first from San Francisco to Yerba Buena Island, pictured here. The second span continues from Yerba Buena Island to Oakland. When it was built in 1936 it was not only the longest bridge ever attempted, at four and a half miles, but also the most expensive structure in history. Today the Bay Bridge is the busiest bridge in the United States.
