When I was growing up in Sacramento my father would take us to San Francisco and we crossed this bridge every time. This video brings back so many good memories. Thank you for making this video.

[@livi7687]

Same here haha, from sac and we would always goto SF through this bridge

[@paulgregoryrodriguez7920]

It is the most direct route, so yeah...

[@daveh9551]

I remember going over this bridge a million times when I was young child. Now a grown man who is grand father age it really makes u think how short our lives are.

[@BlueTickCH]

That's some strong words 😢

[@Luna_AlmondSF]

this brings back my old memories and I still remember the last time I crossed the east bay bridge and nice taste of music!

[@cessaly100]

Yep! Me too! 1984-1999.

[@captseamus]

Me too. July 1969 - 1971

[@sonelaulaulusa9778]

Oh and those two songs or are call don't stop believing and the other song was call when the lights go down the city so yeah

[@heruammen8522]

When Dad was home from working on the train, we crossed this bridge to go pick up Mom from her job @ Korets of California from arounfd 64-72. Back in the 60's, one could use the upper or lower half of the bridge to go either way; east-west and i would always insist on taking the top tier so i could see the view each way. I miss the old girl...

[@juanitahunsucker2422]

You look like the Golden Gate Bridge

[@santostracey93]

This is probably why I love San Francisco so much. It's because of the Bay Bridge. The tunnel with all the lights is probably my favorite part of the whole bridge. I just laugh every time I see it. Ahh, good memories, good times.

[@InterstateKyle]

Thank you! I'm sure going to miss the old eastern span but I am sure excited to drive the new one!

[@juanitahunsucker2422]

Don’t stop believe it

[@vinnylazar1468]

My birthday is on August 28th. I fell in love with this magnificent American wonder since I was born, which made me interested in bridges for a hobby and making me want to become a civil engineer. This was my most favorite out of all bridges even the Golden Gate, which was ranked #2 to me. But, yes it's sad, but it was good to know I got to cross and enjoy it for exactly 20 years of my life, and I will miss the old drive. But, I look forward to the new span as it starts a chapter for my life and the Bay Bridge's.

[@DETOUREnterprises]

Vinny Lazar Mine is on that day too. I was 6 or 7.

[@InterstateKyle]

Thank you very much!

[@bomanikhalifia3616]

I crossed this bridge for the last time August 27, 2013 😔😔😢 ... moving back next month and will finally experience the new bridge.. #memories

[@1867Phoenix]

This is the same song we heard when we saw Tony Soprano for the last time and here we hear it when we last see the old eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.

[@estellepatella2520]

Look at how the skyline has changed in five years. I miss my old City.

[@justinmoore3217]

@@CumLordGary lol what

[@Rubycon99]

I still live in the Bay Area, and I like watching these older Bay Bridge videos just to see the pre-Salesforce Tower skyline :P

[@InterstateKyle]

Thanks Kris!

[@bagnome]

Looking at those towers to the right of the western portion of the bridge. I would love to have an office or apartment that overlooked a major highway. I could just sit there and gaze at the headlights and tail lights as they move past.

[@promontorium]

Recently they changed the westbound exit to Yerba Buena Island from the left side to the right. It's opened up a new part of the island that most traffic never saw. They have some lame barriers blocking other parts of the island, halfway tempted to go around them every time I drive by just to see the old Yerba Buena streets before they tear it all up and change it.

[@bobthepig8628]

That bridge was demolished and gone on 3/28/2017.

[@jonasbilly339]

I love this city. ......

[@InterstateKyle]

Jonas Billy Me too!

[@dpjohnjones432]

Never had the privilege to drive this bridge but this music brings back such great memories.

[@juanitahunsucker2422]

You have now

[@theresameske7594]

Excellent choice in music. How appropriate. Love all of the bridges.

[@Cooperdonny325]

I used to live in Antioch I would always go to San Francisco and cross the old bridge San Francisco rocks

[@kristywarner8325]

What a great trip! Beautiful bridges!

[@fredmcjones3076]

Miss this bridge a lot....Great times living and working out there. Someday i hope to see the new 1. But it just won't be the same!

[@johnlesling8376]

The old one collapsed

[@swabby429]

Brings back some great memories. Thanks!

[@rwboa22]

We had a similar thing happen in 1995 in Delaware, when the State Rt. 1 Turnpike bridge (a cable-stayed bridge similar to the new Eastern Span and the Skyway Bridge in FL). The adjacent St. Georges Bridge was going to be torn down, but wad rehabbed for the locals (their town is divided by the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal).

[@JohnnyLovesMariah1990]

Fantastic! The video The songs. I loved it! Sf! ❤️

[@InterstateKyle]

Me neither! I hope to drive over it this up-coming weekend!

[@trigger1557]

That shape kindd of similar to the Richmond San rafael bridge

[@MikeyBoRo]

Brings back old memories for me coming into the city and the bridge

[@DaveOakland]

Thanks for this video! I always liked the shadows on the road from sunlight going through the box beams and because the beams were the same pattern the rows of them would telescope into the distance with the near ones passing overhead. Also the family memories of driving every Tuesday to pick up my son from his fencing practice in SF then returning home to Oakland.

[@jaidervilladventures]

thanks for your time doing this vid n for the all information you shared

[@goyeabuddy]

thanks for posting this video.. i was stationed at NAS alameda & took this bridge many times to go into the city & the navy base at treasure island..

[@channelinactive2053]

Closed when I was in kindergarten. I still remember it. The times my parents drove were before closure.

[@gahlyogu4570]

Wow so much better looking without those hideous condos and sky scrappers. Reminds me of childhood.

[@abigail3383]

Brings back memories!

[@richardchouinard9382]

I used to live on treasure island in the 80s working for young adult conservation corps , we had our own barracks and we got to eat at the chow hall , that was a cool job 🙂

[@Justrandomvideos-2023]

Good classic music with a good video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻I miss going to San Francisco on my vacation time

[@luizinhobereta]

Fantastic!

[@ezraayala5733]

I LOVE THE BAY BRIDGE!!!

[@JMMT7022801]

San Francisco's losing its soul and character, and turning into a craphole. The Transbay Terminal project and the new east span of the Bay Bridge are a good example. And Candlestick Park is another huge loss. 10-15 years from now, you won't hardly recognize the place.

[@dennissalamante6785]

They are going to add a bike trail to the western span to connect to the eastern span.

[@user-rj4xo6vj7x]

Conclusion: Suspension bridge lasts longer than Cantilever bridge. :P

[@jsaleh415]

Amazing sights SAN FRANCISCO

[@InterstateKyle]

I hope to showcase the new bridge very soon, I hope to get out and capture it on film this up-coming weekend!

[@samilletschko6590]

A western suspension bridge and A eastern cantilever bridge fit really good together Very Nice video of the entire bay bridge!

[@Day0One]

I miss my city... My-old-city.

[@xxuncexx]

Though I question the integrity of the new span, I find it cooler to cross. Then you get hit with nostalgia when you go across the western span.

[@franksinclair2137]

This bridge looks fun to cross sadly I didn’t get to meet it but I’ve seen San Francisco back in 2013

[@user-io3th6lo9t]

What an awesome architectural and infrastructure marvel these bridges and highways are coupled with the magnificent skyline of San Francisco. I don't care what anybody thinks America is freaking awesome!

[@Insertgenericusernamehere809]

Sad they get overshadowed by the golden gate bridge.

[@Tahirmakesvideos]

I grow up with that bridge before they took it down

[@StevenEveral]

Can't wait to drive across the new span when I get down there in a few months!

[@TheSolarcatcher]

Nice job!

[@TBgunsandbutter]

from Frisco to Oak Town, i always drive and talk like i got game

I basically watch this video every day

you might enjoy this one.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmnFqKSufsycjpo

[@JeffDeWitt]

Very nice, good job. I've never driven over that bridge and now never will, guess this is as close as I will come. However I HAVE driven over the George Washington Bridge at the other end of I-80.

[@HDTravelAviation]

Nice video. I subscribed and liked the video. Love the music.

[@Carolina_Panthers145]

It heard nice people are in Oakland

[@slice-o-life]

Lol I still think that it’s there cause I still remember this growing up I just have to remember it’s now the smaller white bay bridge now. Wish I had an iPhone back then cause now it’s a rare look back.

[@sonelaulaulusa9778]

I miss crossing the old bridge to🥺😪

[@00crashtest]

Amazing how many more German and American cars there were back in just 2013! Now, those German and American cars are long in the scrapper, having been replaced by newer Japanese cars. Also amazing how most of those Japanese cars seen in the video are still here today! Japanese reliability, durability, efficiency, longevity, and afforability for the win!

[@Unknown-ww3zw]

I cried at the end

[@luciamondragon5870]

I Like the lower deck of the Bay brige

It was what I saw in 1989 after the 🌎🌍 series wasn't on....I crossed over so many times in my life...I was horrified when I saw it...I was born in SF in 1953 ...so I've been across both bridges many times....🌹💖🦋🇺🇸🇺🇦

[@CarmenShields]

Fantastic video! I have been to San Francisco before but have never crossed the San Fran-Oakland Bay Bridge. San Francisco is such an eclectic and interesting city (and without doubt one of a kind!) I live in Virginia but I hope to make it back sometime in the near future. The bonus footage at the end was quite nice too :)

[@SteveCarras]

I've been on ALL of them-the S.F. Bay bridge, Golden gate, San Rafael, Benecia-Martinez, Carquinez, San mateo, Dubarton, and even the Antioch way out east of Carquinez strait.

[@leonprogamer1217]

awesome video

[@marcusvictor49]

Did you notice the stretch limo at about 6:46 in. Wonder if it had a niner in it lol.

[@Doggeslife]

I live in the south bay area, so I have only crossed it a few times. Truthfully, I have crossed that bridge more times on KZbin than in real life. ;-)

[@denelson83]

1:06 - That's a no-no, crossing a solid white line.

[@sasafaamasino3288]

Awesome

[@MikeyBoRo]

My favorite bridge to cross

[@jesperPLZ]

How is the intro song called ?

[@yallowrosa]

too different styles of two spans (and the old one was more light) will they have the intention to also replace the western span ?

[@JeffDeWitt]

yallow rosa He said it had recently undergone a major refurbishment and there were no plans to replace it. As it's a suspension bridge I expect it's a lot less susceptible to being damaged by an earthquake than a steel truss bridge like the old eastern span.

[@robytherobotwhiteversion]

Nice video

[@cjs121675]

Great tribute to a great bridge!!! That's a great ride and a great vid to show respect to one of the most famous bridges in the world!!! NICE! This gets a like!

Where did you get the song from? I know that they're from the KZbin Audio Library like you don't use in the 2022 season, the biggest season ever.

[@TheNimshew]

Back in the day, passenger cars used the upper deck and commercial traffic used the lower deck.

[@andrelot]

Kyle, which side of the Bay to you live?

[@genesis209_gd]

everyone: woah, this bridge is so nostalgic! me who's never been to the US: 👁️ 👄 👁️

[@carlosgrajales44]

Funny cause the first time I went to S.F. I played the same song when I was driving on the bridge 😣😣😣

I thought the whole bridge was replaced... And that the old one had fallen in the water 😂😂

[@TwistedDarknessRising]

Sweet

[@Dahmer_Jeff]

Anxiety every time going on that bridge...not knowing when the next loma parieta will hit. Where will you be!

[@johnlesling8376]

Omg don't say that lol, I take this bridge to get to work each week!

[@null1753]

i remember the old bay bridge but now we have a new bay bridge

[@katerinnepena1554]

I certainly accept what you have written - definately more difficult than some people make out to overcome fear of driving. Be careful and seek advice from other people. I looked a few sites and found a lot of good help by searching google on websites such as Roys Quick Fix. Good luck and hope you are successful!

[@tongliang1413]

It the old east bay bridge was shifted down in 1989, Then how did you cross the bridge even when the bridge got damaged??

East Bay!

I liked the old songs better. I don't really like that KZbin makes a big deal about songs being used in a bay bridge video

[@timentwisle4732]

question, if you were to fall off the bay and golden gate bridges, would you survive? because isn't that a bay. If you fell in to the Detroit river there is a current and you would not survive. Question could you survive?

[@vj3137]

Falling off the bridge? No, you wouldn't.

[@ieeee_.]

Bridge is above water

[@Rubycon99]

Believe it or not, a few people have survived, but your chances aren't very good. The GGB is the 2nd or 3rd most popular place in the world to commit suicide. From that height it's not much different than hitting solid cement.

[@angelomercado1161]

R.I.P old Bay Bridge is it older than the oakland bay bridge

[@seangehrke3133]
