San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge

Watch the East Span Construction in Real Time

Watch the new East Span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge take shape before your eyes! We've positioned still cameras at several vantage points, along with a streaming video camera. Not only can you view the construction nearly in real-time, you can also go back in time to view construction progress as of any day since early October 2008. A virtual joystick allows you to zoom in on the work and workers, and to pan across the image. You can toggle to panoramic options that provide nearly 360-degree views of the construction zone and the impressive sweep of the already completed East Span Skyway that stands expectantly, ready for the day when it will link to the new self-anchored suspension span (SAS). Also look for the option to stream a time-lapse movie.
