East Span Bay Bridge, Oakland
From Shellmound Street in Emeryville, take the almost 4-mile-long Bay Bridge Trail to view the demolition of the old bridge and the spectacular architecture of the self-suspended span on the new bridge. The bridge trail currently ends at the suspension span of the new bridge but will connect to Yerba Buena Island in 2016. Due to demolition work, the trail is subject to regular closures. Check the Bay Bridge Path website for updates.
