San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge Visual Assessment

The following visual simulations are taken from the Visual Impact Assessment which was prepared as part of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the East Span Seismic Safety Project. These simulations show the possible East Span alignment alternatives and design variations which are evaluated in the DEIS. The Visual Impact Assessment quantifies the visual impact that the bridge variations would have in the larger visual context of the Bay Area.

The visual simulations typically show the alignment alternative (either N6 or S4) which is closest to each viewpoint. If, however, the alignment dramatically affects the views from that location, both alignments are shown.

bay area map For each location shown, you can view:
  • The Existing East Span
  • The Skyway Design Variation
  • The Signature Bridge Design Variation (either Suspension Bridge or Cable-Stayed Bridge)
