The San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge will contain a unique new suspension span when it opens in 2013. Its tower began to rise above the horizon of Yerba Buena Island a few months ago. In this photo you can see three of the existing suspension span towers on the right, and behind the San Francisco skyline toward the left you see a construction crane and scaffolding holding the new tower while it is being pieced together and rising skyward.
A few weeks ago, the catwalks were constructed that will hold the workers while the suspension cables are woven.
