Designing the New Bay Bridge

The tower of the Bay Bridge's new self-anchored suspension span.
Last week, construction crews on the new eastern span of the Bay Bridge completed "the big lift," dramatically shifting the weight of the new single-tower suspension span from temporary supports to a mile-long cable. The new section, set to open next year, is now officially the world's largest self-anchored suspension span. We'll talk to some of the architects involved with the project.
Host: Michael Krasny
Guests:
- Bart Ney, senior communications manager for the California Department of Transportation
- Clive Endress, senior landscape architect for the California Department of Transportation
- Donald MacDonald, principal with Donald MacDonald Architects
- Michael Fitzpatrick, bridge architect with T.Y. Lin International
