History

The Bay Bridge SAS Tower West, part of the iconic San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, is a modern engineering marvel with a history rooted in the evolution of California's transportation infrastructure. Completed in 2013, this striking single-tower suspension bridge replaced the original eastern span of the Bay Bridge, which had been a vital transportation link since the bridge's opening in 1936. The decision to build a new span was driven by safety concerns following the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989, which exposed vulnerabilities in the original structure.
