I'm not an engineer or an architect, but I can appreciate something new and different. The new span of the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge is spectacular looking.



A Google image search brings up many good photos of this.

It's still closed right now due to them replacing some key bolts that apparently had some kind of quality issue. Some were found to be bad during inspections so they are replacing all of them.

I was driving by it twice a week during the construction last year and it was pretty cool to see it going in.

This is very cool too:

That reminds me of when a new bridge was built across the Mississippi river between Illinois and Keokuk, Iowa (the home town of most of my family). There was a swing bridge when I was younger, and that bridge had metal grates like a catwalk. I stepped out onto it once when the bridge was open and it scared the s**t out of me. The new bridge is a lot nicer because it's tall enough that boats can go right under it, so cars never had to wait.
