Caption: "San Francisco Bay Bridge Under Construction. Nov. 1, 1935." View of the towers and suspension cables of the western half of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, spanning the distance between Yerba Buena Island in San Francisco Bay to the City of San Francisco. The bridge deck has not yet been completed. The Bay Bridge's design combined three different types of bridge-building technology over the five miles it covers between San Francisco and Oakland: a suspension span, a cantilevered span, and a tunnel.
