It’s been almost a month now since the brand new eastern span of the Bay Bridge officially opened for traffic—24 years and nearly $6.4 billion since 1989’s Loma Prieta earthquake collapsed a section of the original. Now they stand side-by-side, but not for (too) long; a “construction and demolition” plan is underway to completely raze and clear away the old, seismically out-of-date structure, while concurrently building a new onramp from Yerba Buena Island and completing the bike path from there to Oakland.
