INFO:
For the first time in history, pedestrians and cyclists have the chance to travel across the new East Span of the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge.
Two-thirds of the Bay Bridge Trail opened to the public on September 3, 2013, allowing visitors to traverse just past the span’s 525-foot signature tower. Before the pathway can be extended the 2.2 miles between Oakland and Yerba Buena Island, contractors must dismantle a portion of the original bridge that sits in the way.
Two access points provide a direct route to the bicycle and pedestrian path: One at Shellmound Street in Emeryville, just outside the IKEA store, and another at the corner of Maritime Street and Burma Road in Oakland.
OLD BRIDGE:
It’s not the Golden Gate, but still a beautiful bridge and unique perspective of the bay. Being accustomed to ride from city to north bay, felt funny to hit a turn around point yet I trust some day the full path will be constructed. In my lifetime hopefully? 🙂 :
