I haven't been out to Frisco in years but I remember going over this bridge once while out there in the early 60's.

The camera took this footage from treasure island (TI). The bridge that is being replaced is from Oakland to TI. The lanes go from here through a 2 decker tunnel on TI onto a bridge from TI to SF (not being replaced). Both sides have always been 2 levels. In the vid, the section on the right and the part they moved into place are temps, so they can connect the new brigde being built next to the old, to TI. The temp part cost 300 mil. The new bridge will not be 2 levels until meeting the tunnel

if you look closely you can see the new bridge in the background behind the truss....new bridge goes into old tunnel..detour is built to divert traffic.. so they can build constantly.

I could not see what was happening because it moved too fast. It should have been slowed down to appreciate the effects to enabe us to see if we could ID any of the guys workin' on it!

Who would of thought, some hundreds of years back, that we would be capable of doing this. I gotta say, for the first time in a while, I'm gonna give humans some credit. :)

its maintained by anyone who wins the bids for the job... CalTrans usually wins,but they work so slowly, and drag everything on for months or years at a time

get your facts straight before you say anything. The Bay Bridge is owned by the state of California. It is maintained by CalTrans.

they say go 55 on the bridge but people go minimum 65 and rest speed at 70-80, the turn looks a little sharp to me

Portbalto is correct! They used Dove liquid soap to lubricate the span for easy movement. True!
