A Landmark Takes Shape

While the debate has been raging over the design and cost of the tower section that will crown the new East Span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, construction has continued apace on the adjoining skyway, which is now 80 percent complete. Shown here are dramatic views of every phase of the skyway building process along with artist renderings of the new East Span and its bicycle/pedestrian path. The striking new landmark is scheduled to open to traffic in 2013.
