Walk Across the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge

June 16, 2017

This is a fantastic urban hike....walk across the Bay Bridge! You can walk/bike across the new East Span of the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge. Two-thirds of the Bay Bridge Trail opened to the public in September of 2013, and the final segment of the path opened on October 23, 2016, which allows the public access to the entire 2.2-mile-path between Oakland and Yerba Buena Island.

The bike and pedestrian path is named after the late East Bay Bicycle Coalition founder and Bay Bridge Trail advocate, Alex Zuckermann.

The demolition of the old bridge is still ongoing, and the demolition process has been carefully monitored in an environmentally and ecologically conscious manner to minimize environmental and ecological impact.

As you walk across, take a close look at the new bridge and enjoy amazing views in all directions....SF Bay, downtown SF, Port of Oakland, Mt. Tam and east bay cities. Also, witness and learn the history of old and new.
