San Francisco Bay Bridge Time Lapse

Drew Rogge, a co-worker of mine, wrote a little script to grab the images from the Bay Bridge construction project and put it together into a movie.
The images were from the Bay Bridge Public Information webcam: baybridgeinfo.org/construction...
Also, if you enjoy the video and you've got an iPhone, check out some apps that I've made (Mach Dice and Holograms)! www.machwerx.com/apps

I haven't been over this bridge in 7 years, it's truly an awesome bridge to cross, pretty amazing.

[@denny906]

I haven't been out to Frisco in years but I remember going over this bridge once while out there in the early 60's.

[@Irondo11]

It's amazing that they did this in 4 days over the Labor Day weekend...wow!

[@myksweet]

The camera took this footage from treasure island (TI). The bridge that is being replaced is from Oakland to TI. The lanes go from here through a 2 decker tunnel on TI onto a bridge from TI to SF (not being replaced). Both sides have always been 2 levels. In the vid, the section on the right and the part they moved into place are temps, so they can connect the new brigde being built next to the old, to TI. The temp part cost 300 mil. The new bridge will not be 2 levels until meeting the tunnel

[@trafficstripes]

Cool time lapse video. I was involved on this project installing the traffic strping !

[@ojeestudio]

Wow - amazing!

[@porschefan102]

they certainly do, my dad's company uses them for projects, they work fast and do an excellent job.

[@fiksep]

This is an awesome video, good work!

[@JoeBernard10]

Awesome. I was hoping somebody would do this!

[@brosephjames]

Wow, what do you need to get 5 stars on youtube a jonas brothers soundtrack? This is once in a lifetime footage. of a bridge project that will persist into the next century.

[@GAMEOFDRONES1]

Rain or shine ,Day and night nice vid.

[@Tonyaahhh]

Who would of thought, some hundreds of years back, that we would be capable of doing this. I gotta say, for the first time in a while, I'm gonna give humans some credit. :)

[@JohnBare]

amazing!

[@terickfic]

yeah thanks to everyone who worked on bridge cuz it was a nightmare going to other ways to sf :) thanks again

[@codeagent47]

well done!

[@horaciovel]

Maravilloso!

[@MrHairymanback]

bridge building seems like a worth-while job

[@driveoffacliff]

if you look closely you can see the new bridge in the background behind the truss....new bridge goes into old tunnel..detour is built to divert traffic.. so they can build constantly.

[@squalea]

cool vid, thanks for posting :)

[@jcgamer892]

(sorry forgot about this) nice, wish our construction workers were that devoted to there job. it takes ours 9 mouths to do the same job

[@tormentes0ulx]

good to see that construction went smooth. the upload could have used some music though

[@EuroRocket]

good job caltrans!

[@cyclona23]

Bad Brains' self-titled album is a really good soundtrack to this.

[@vladimir2366fa]

hi, the movies is excellent, thanks ★★★★★

[@xXshermanaterXx]

that was cool

[@thrummer1953]

If only CalTrans workers moved this fast in real life! I'm glad they discovered that crack though.

[@CW5XKnex]

Immpressive and you had to see what happened next, extremely cool. 5/5 from me.

[@telj1]

Cool

[@jcgamer892]

i'm in montana most of the people that have moved here within the past 3 yrs. are from 'cali'. and i have been to califoria.

[@AnotherCopierOfM13]

Civil engineering FTW!

[@revolutionzerox]

thats insane..

[@nanosec111]

Portbalto is correct! They used Dove liquid soap to lubricate the span for easy movement. True!

[@ServisSuperheat]

I would love to take a look at the script

[@yuareyummyy]

wow. they must've really worked really hard.

[@wright0340]

damn they are working hard

[@CW5XKnex]

Yeah uhh they fitted a new part, if you don't like engineering time lapses then that's not my problem.

[@WarsharkProductions]

Neat-O!

[@gruntmasta]

its maintained by anyone who wins the bids for the job... CalTrans usually wins,but they work so slowly, and drag everything on for months or years at a time

[@nazmcnasty]

crazy

[@whaks14]

World's Toughest Fixes

[@RoyalHim]

I thought they were building a new bridge? What are they doing?

[@spikonaleash]

wow it only took them 3 minutes and 46 seconds to do this wow just playin

[@yellow_airman]

yup =]

[@secretquark]

its a temporay by-pass for the next 3 years while the new bridge is completed.

[@ghostrid3]

they say go 55 on the bridge but people go minimum 65 and rest speed at 70-80, the turn looks a little sharp to me

[@NIVPsalm51]

check out 1:58 -2:00 Seems the Galactic Federation is checking on the progress.

[@hemirango]

its there for good luck

[@globaltrance092]

Bay Area people Holla!

[@lighangel]

2:14~2:18 is sooo cool not the bridge but how it changed from day to night

[@Nnexxxx]

So your cousin who lives in california has never been to california? How does she do that?

[@billeybop]

I could not see what was happening because it moved too fast. It should have been slowed down to appreciate the effects to enabe us to see if we could ID any of the guys workin' on it!

[@LuisGarcia-en9yl]

@brainburrito yes!!!!!!!lol

[@bodryn]

I hear on Ed's show that they are using Chinese steel.

[@dunti21]

In case you didn't know, humans made the machines....

[@drvrprmt]

no i dont know. the engineers go though extenive testing to make sure it is stable. they dont ganble with peoples lives

[@purestr8str]

can't you see it was done under 4 mins ?

[@jsetvideo]

it's like watching paint dry

[@CHUCKLOVES1969]

WHAT IF I TOLD U....my mother's father was a major contributor in designing and constrution of the SF Bay Bridge. he also did the one in Spokane?...i'm from Chicago and my mom's father was president of a company there called Bates and Roger's...and i had a book all about the company,,but lost it,,and would love anyone to tell me any info..mom was given thousands of the usa .50 cent commenerative coin honoring the first floating bridge back in 1936 ?,,the first coin issued of that kind.any help?

[@resellworld]

okay okay we got it we know what you meant ,......it was only a joke....just like the whole "UFO" idea

[@RadiantSilverlighter]

whole, not hole.

[@resellworld]

or an airplane or a helicopter or a bird no, wait......Its Superman!!!!!!

[@Mrarchab]

o k

[@Nac1xem]

Lmao they just slided a piec of it out

[@fr8nk1e]

get your facts straight before you say anything. The Bay Bridge is owned by the state of California. It is maintained by CalTrans.

[@Gojirobe]

It could have been a bird, ya know...

[@brainburrito]

@bodryn If thats true we're all gonna die lol

[@misterpers0n]

speed hax

[@yengacha]

like ants.... building something..

[@PhoBoDacBiet]

whats yyour parents names lol
