4 Bay Bridge crossings by 1928 - 'Saving the Bay' w/Bobby Redford on PBS now
Edited on Tue Aug-30-11 01:33 AM by sfpcjock

The two more biggest crossings--The Oakland Bay Bridge + Golden Gate Bridge by 1937. We used to be really prompt on the engineering.

Episode 3 – Miracle Workers (1906 — 1959)

The Great Earthquake and Fire of 1906 accelerates the dispersion of people and industry to the East Bay. Advances in engineering give rise to the first of California’s massive water re-distribution projects paralleling the era of great bridge building. World War II sees the Bay transformed into the greatest shipbuilding center the world had ever known.
