First Photos Of Driving Over The Bay Bridge Expansion
12:30AM Tuesday, September 3, 2013
My father Jake Ehrlich Jr, and his sister Dora Jane Ehrlich walked over the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge the first day it was open back on November 12, 1936, as well as on the Golden Gate Bridge the first day it was open to the public on May 27, 1937.
So when my girlfriend mentioned to me tonight, just before midnight on Monday, September 2, 2013, that the San Francisco Bay Bridge Expansion had finally opened, I got in my car to go and check it out. It cost $6.4 Billion for 2.2 miles of absolute beauty and splendor. Unlike the older bridge it replaces, it has all ten lanes on the top, so drivers traveling in both directions get to enjoy the beautiful views!!!
