An innovative landmark a quarter century in the making; the new eastern span of the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge represents the latest spectacular chapter in the history of this storied structure. The new bridges architect; Donald MacDonald; teams up with author Ira Nadel to create this illuminating book. With friendly text and charming illustrations; Bay Bridge reveals the design decisions that have shaped the evolution of the bridge over the last century—from the history of the original bridge; through the planning of the new span; to the construction of its signature 525-foot-high white tower. In the same elegant package as Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz; this volume makes a lovely souvenir for San Francisco devotees; architecture buffs; and tourists.
