Richmond-San Rafael Bridge
Hey Area is where we find answers to questions you ask. Steve Shea wanted to to know, Why is the Richmond bridge built on a four-mile gap in the bay when it could have been built over a one-mile gap just a little bit farther north?
It’s 7:45 a.m. and I’m in the car with Albany resident Steve Shea. We’re headed from the East Bay to his office in Novato.
“Yeah I’ve been commuting to this job ten years now,” he says, his hands on the wheel, eyes fixed on traffic ahead.
As we approach the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge this sunny morning, the bay looks shockingly blue on either side. Commuters are weaving in and out of the lanes, filing in to get onto the span. Steve points to the shoreline peeking over the railing to our right. He‘s pointing to McNears Beach that’s the point where Steve actually thinks this bridge should have been built.
