Comprising two major sections that connect to Yerba Buena Island, a natural mid-bay outcropping, its construction was completed in 1936. The bridge is a critical piece of infrastructure, facilitating the daily commute of thousands and serving as a vital transportation link between San Francisco and Oakland. It has weathered the test of time, including significant retrofitting to meet modern earthquake standards. The Bay Bridge not only stands as a marvel of engineering but also as a beloved symbol of resilience and innovation in the Bay Area.
