Bay Bridge

The Bay Bridge is a major bridge that connects San Francisco and Oakland in California, spanning the San Francisco Bay. It consists of two main sections: the original 1936 suspension bridge and a newer parallel span opened in 2013 to accommodate more traffic. The bridge facilitates daily commuting and transportation across the bay, featuring multiple lanes for vehicles. Its design addresses challenges posed by strong winds, tides, and earthquakes, making it an engineering landmark. Overall, the Bay Bridge is essential infrastructure that enhances regional connectivity and supports economic activity in Northern California.
