Timelapse Video of Construction of San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge

San Francisco’s New Bay Bridge

Recently colleague Andrew Mornin visited the Bay area. While crossing the new Bay Bridge, built in part to replace the old bridge, damaged in an earthquake, he managed to get a few photographs. Some capture the new bridge, others show the complicated process to remove the old bridge.

The link here points to a Google+ post  featuring the photographs.
