San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge

The San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, known locally as the Bay Bridge, is a complex of bridges spanning San Francisco Bay in San Francisco, California.
Conceived as early as the California Gold Rush days, the bridge was not constructed until 1933. Designed by Charles H. Purcell, and built by American Bridge Company, the bridge was opened on November 12, 1936, six months before the Golden Gate Bridge.
The bridge originally carried commuter trains as part of the Key System, but following the abandonment of rail service, the bridge was converted to all-road traffic.

The Bay Bridge was supposed to be featured in the 2020 film #JusticeForLove: End of the World, but only makes a cameo in multiple establishing shots of San Francisco due to its producers opting for the more iconic Golden Gate Bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge is also featured in the instead of the Bay Bridge.

* The bridge is divided into two sections, the western section, which is a double suspension bridge with two decks, and the eastern section, which is a causeway connected to a self-anchored suspension bridge. Each section is seperated by the Yerba Buena Tunnel.
** The original eastern section was a long cantilever bridge, but was damaged during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, and is replaced between 2002 and 2013. Demolition of the original eastern section was completed in 2018.
* The bridge's eastern section is the world's widest bridge, according to Guinness World Records as of 2014.
