In 1986, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge celebrated its 50th anniversary, marking a significant milestone in the history of one of the most iconic engineering feats in the United States.

 

Opened to traffic in 1936, the bridge was a groundbreaking achievement, connecting the cities of San Francisco and Oakland across the San Francisco Bay. It was the longest bridge of its kind in the world at the time, and its completion was vital in promoting the growth of the Bay Area.
