Yikes, it was a year ago this month that I shared photos of the new Eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay bridge. The progress on taking down the old Eastern span is significant. Here’s a reminder of what the old span looked like with both levels of traffic lanes still intact. Click on an image for a larger view.
And here is what it looks like today
with the top level completely gone and three huge gaps in the bridge. We are getting real glimpses of what the unobstructed view to the south will be like. The original estimate for completion of the demolition was three years. At this pace I wouldn’t be surprised if they complete the job ahead of schedule.
