Caption: "Opening Day, Nov. 12, 1936, San Francisco, Oakland Bay Bridge, Before the Traffic Started." View of the San Francisco terminus of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. Built between May 1933 and its opening on November 12, 1936, 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. At the time of its completion the bridge was the longest steel structure on the globe. It also featured the deepest bridge pier ever built, and the world's largest bore tunnel.
