RIP Carquinez bridge... 1927 - 2006 Photo by Loren Lloyd. www.myspace.com/lorenlloyd The original bridge, a steel cantilever bridge, was designed by Robinson & Steinman and dedicated on May 21, 1927; costing eight million dollars to build, it was the first major bridge in the San Francisco Bay Area.[1] In 1958, a similar parallel bridge was built alongside the original one to accommodate the ever-increasing traffic. The original 1927 span served westbound traffic while the newer 1958 span served eastbound traffic. In 2003, as a resolution to seismic problems of the aging 1927 span, a new suspension bridge was built to replace it. This new bridge was named the Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge, after an ironworker who worked on a number of the San Francisco Bay Area bridges, including the Golden Gate Bridge. The new span features a pedestrian and bicycle path, completing a bike trail which circles the entire Bay Area. The new span measures 0.66 miles (3465 feet / 1056.1 m / 1.06 Km). The bridge was dedicated on November 8, 2003 and opened for traffic on November 11
