*** About Bay Bridge: The San Francisco Bay Bridge, known simply as the Bay Bridge, is a complex of bridges spanning San Francisco Bay in California. Composed of two major sections linked by a central island, the bridge connects the city of San Francisco to Oakland and the East Bay. Completed in 1936, it serves as a vital transportation corridor and is recognized as one of the key engineering marvels in the United States. The bridge's design features a combination of suspension, cantilever, and truss structures, which not only accommodate heavy traffic but also offer resistance to natural calamities, particularly earthquakes. The recent addition of a self-anchored suspension span on the eastern section is noted for its aesthetic appeal and structural ingenuity.
