I was 17 fresh outta high school and got into the trades! This was my first construction job ever. That was 12 years ago! Now 29 and feel proud every time I pass that bridge!!

Wow! As a bay area native, it's crazy how the bay bridge has been a part of my life. My dad and oldest brother rode the last F-Train that went across the bridge...the lower deck used to be for trains, buses and trucks. My middle son and I were at the World Series when the quake happened. Driving over the bridge, seeing this video...wow, what a great place to live!

When my sister and I were kids, we called this "the crane bridge" and loooved to count the cranes as we drove across it with our dad. The new bridge opened up right before we learned to drive, and I am just in awe every time I cross it. Great video of a great bridge!

Beautiful and hi tech. The bridge is designed to last 150 years and withstand 8.3 scale earth quake, and immediately functional and operational after any (imagined) earthquakes below 8.3 scale. The steel modular so are also hi tech, with spectacular precision. Engineers on site are deeply impressed that, for example, the 146,000 nut-and-bolts, fixers all perfectly aligned when installing, not even one fixer has 0.1% error!

OC Jones is proud to be a part of this historic project. We did the original paving project back in the 1970's and we were excited to be able to do it again this year!

I love out bridge so very much! I'm so proud of it when I drive on it! An amazing feat of engineering and building. A symbol of pride.

Wow - I have to plan a trip to the bay area just so I can drive across this wonderful, beautiful new bridge! Nice job to all who were a part of this project.

Videos like this are really inspirational.... but they also make me feel so, so insignificant.

Great video, friend! There are times when nothing better illuminates your path than a burning bridge. Enjoy your travels and good mood!

Can't wait to see the time-lapse video of the old eastern span of the Bay Bridge being dismantled!
