Our high-rise is located near the port of San Francisco and the Embarcadero-a waterfront located just by the bay. This splendid promenade runs under the great Bay Bridge, which connects San Francisco with nearby Oakland. It was opened in the 1930s, around the same time as the Golden Gate Bridge. The project was supervised by a distinguished engineer Ralph Modjeski, son of the Polish actress Helena Modrzejewska.
The bridge has two levels, and it eases the city's circulation. Unfortunately it does not ease the work of the experts. The old construction, which partially fell down in the 1989 earthquake, required an extension and constant maintenance.
For Christmas, the Bay Bridge is always illuminated. Last year, the residents appreciated the Bay Lights display so much that it will be displayed permanently from 2016.
Take a look how the Bay Bridge presents itself:
