Bay Bridge

The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge opened November 12, 1936. Until 1962 cars drove in both directions on the upper deck, while trucks and trains traveled in both directions on the lower deck. A new section of the bridge is being built, and completion of the project is expected to take place in 2013.
