Description: On July 9,1933,the California Department of public works broke ground on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge crowds gathered at Yerba Buena island to celebrate the world’s longest steel structure. The 1-day ceremony included performances by the young women of Bay cities and the United states Navy Band, an airplane fight that linked Rincon Hill and Oakland with a symbolic bridge of smoke ,and a simultaneous detonation of blasts at yerba Buena island, San Francisco and Oakland by then- President Franklin D. Roosevelt from the white house. In 1936, the East and West communities of the Bay Area came together like never before. While ferries had long carried people across the Bay’s often choppy waters, automobiles were the future of transportation. The meant local residents wanted a quick way to drive between the rapidly growing cities of San Francisco and Oakland .The largest and most expensive bridge of its time, the Bay Bridge faced not just natural obstacles, but political hurdles as well. There had been discussion of building a bridge between San Francisco and Oakland since the 1870’s. Grab this poster for its high quality paper with a high degree of color accuracy.
