An engineering marvel, the Bay Bridge opened for traffic in 1936, and currently carries an average of 280,000 vehicles a day. The west span features four suspension towers, while the east span features a cantilever design. Construction of a replacement for the east span officially commenced on January 29, 2002. The contemporary suspension design of the new east span (shown to the right in a nighttime view) will harmonize well with the existing west span as well as the Golden Gate Bridge.
