Bay Bridge!

I have talked a lot about the Golden Gate Bridge, the store that is near the bridge, but this post is about nome of that. For the very first time on this blog, almost one year old (!), I am gonna talk about the Bay Bridge!

The Bay Bridge also known as San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge has one of the longest spans in the world, on 57th position. The Bridge is a part of Interstate 80 and the direct state road route between San Francisco and Oakland, because of that it carries about 280,000 vehicles per day on its two decks! 

The construction began in 1933, the same as the Golden Gate Bridge.However the Bay Bridge was opened in November of 1936, six months before the GGB. The Bay Bridge originally carried automobile traffic of its upper deck and trucks and trains on the lower. However, after the Key System, which provided mass traffic in Oakland, the lower deck was converted to traffic road.

This Bridge is very important for people to go to Yerba Buena Island! I have seen pictures and that place looks amazing!

Learned a little bit more about the Bay Bridge? I hope so!
