A dramatic time-lapse video showing the scale of the work carried out by engineers on the new San Francisco Bay Bridge over a weekend closure.
To divert traffic onto a temporary bypass viaduct, making way for the completion of the new East Span, a 300 foot, 3,200-ton section of the existing San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge was rolled aside and replaced over Labor Day weekend, 2009. This video presents the entire weekend twice, as seen from above and below.
