Some superb infrastructure! Completely agree that the view of the SF Skyline from the Bay Bridge is just breathtakingly ✨ ICONIC ✨

Great Video! I grew up in Oakland, where my father was a painting contractor. He painted most of the bridges in the Bay Area with large painting crews when he first moved there. I loved all the bridges, but the one I loved most was the one that crossed the estuary between Oakland and Alameda. If I was lucky, I was able to see it lift in half for large barges and boats, going to the Port of Oakland from the SF Bay, then set back down again before crossing to Alameda(where I was born…even though my parents lived in Oakland). I also loved the Posey Tube which was a short tunnel that also took you from Oakland to Alameda! It had “style”.

The Golden Gate Bridge across the Golden Gate is San Fracisco's signature landmark as a gateway bridge because the Golden Gate is the gateway of the bay welcoming immigrants from the other side of the Pacific and the bridge welcomes drivers to San Francisco as they pay a toll going south.

The Golden Gate Bridge, it's on my bucket list
I am familiar with the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, it happen on my dad's 40th birthday
Suspension and Cantilever are two favorite types of bridges

Nicely done Kyle! I hate the traffic in the Bay area...but I always enjoy driving over the bridges there! I haven't had the chance to drive over the newest one...the Bay Bridge since they replaced it. Whenever my next trip to the Bay area, I'll definitely want to do that drive as they have turned a sorta ugly bridge into one of the most beautiful in the world! In the past, while visiting family in Sacramento, I'd purposely fly into SFO, OAK or SJC to get a lower airfare, but also to enjoy the drive back to Sacramento and when leaving, back to San Francisco.

Thank you. We enjoyed watching your video very much. It's been close to 50 years since we traveled there. I grew up crossing the Bay Bridge on vacations to SF, and really appreciate the views and comments. We also got a kick out of the drive...speedy but somehow turns or stops just in time.😂

Very thorough documentation and video!

[Alejandro-vnsi]

The Antioch bridge is also important! Please, include it in a future video!

[bridamy]

The vast majority agreed apon definition of what makes you part of the SF Bay Area is if you live within any county that borders the bay waters.

So using that definition, the Antioch Bridge is part of the San Francisco Bay Area Metropolitan Region. It's also part of the FastTrak fast pass system.

the part of the delta in the bay area is definitely in fact.. part of the bay area… its east contra costa county

[BayAreaSon]

What about the 23rd street bridge connecting Oakland to Alameda??! (Kidding)

Tobias Jones: So John, How Did We Get Here?

John Tanner: I Don't Know, Jones. Maybe We're Just Driving In The Highway.

Tobias Jones: You'll Bet For Ya.

SF still needs a bridge to bridge freeway, perhaps a new imagined double deck 101. My grandfather worked on the GG bridge in the 30s. He had these b and w photos taken from the bridge during construction. He crossed the bridge boocoo times after the main suspension cables were spun, and before the roadway was built. One memorable photo was from the top of the Marin tower looking back at the construction of the Bay Br. Amazing photo album.

I like the eastern span of the San Francisco, Oakland Bay Bridge. Namely the night video I saw of that span on Freeway Jim in 2015.

[DriveNRoam]

It is crazy to think that they built the Golden Gate Bridge & the SF-Oakland Bridge in the 1930s, here in Asia, we only have farmlands back in the 1930s.

[ChristianClass]

Yesss the best road videos maker in the world is finally back ! 🖼 🌄 👏👍

The Antioch Bridge is ABSOLUTELY apart of the Bay Area!! It's also the scariest of the bridges. So many people use that bridge to commute into the Bay Area from the delta region. You missed out on driving across that one.

I was involved in a bad accident on the Bay Bridge (Oakland Side) before the new span was built. When I went to see a buddy working on it, the marking on the side of the bridge I hit were still there. They actually cut that portion out and let me have it. LOL

Great video overall, just know that the Antioch bridge is apart of the Bay Are Bridges.

Thank you so much I enjoyed watching the bay bridge...

[brittanykrieger]

I absolutely love the San Francisco and Oakland Bay Bridge. I have fond memories of when we went to the majestic city. The tolls are annoying though.

[socarboy]

Cool video, with a bunch of useful info about the topic, enjoyed the ride
