Officially the Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge this newer "Carquinez Bridge" runs along side the older Carquinez Bridge. The Carquinez Bridge refers to parallel bridges spanning the Carquinez Strait, forming part of Interstate 80 between Crockett and Vallejo, California. The name originally referred to a single cantilever bridge built in 1927, helping to form a direct route between San Francisco and Sacramento. A second parallel cantilever bridge was completed in 1958 to deal with the increased traffic. Later, seismic problems of the 1927 span led to the construction and 2003 opening of a replacement: a suspension bridge officially called the Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge. I liked how this turned out and as you can plainly see is not my usual fare:)Enjoy and thanks once again for your comments:)
