It's time for a visual update on the San Francisco Bay Bridge reconstruction project. The cantilevered portion of the new bridge is now complete, so work has turned to building the single-tower, self-anchored suspended section of the span, which will link the new bridge to Yerba Buena island in the middle of San Francisco Bay.
Telstar Logistics Special Correspondent Fred Sharples piloted his sailboat under the bridge construction project recently, and he returned home with these lovely photos that showcase the temporary scaffolding used to hold new bridge sections in place while the suspension system is completed.
