San Francisco Bay Bridge Time Lapse

[EBIKERIDER2]

Rain or shine ,Day and night nice vid.

[wfkane2001]

Amazing how they did this. I drive this bridge occasionally now and that curve is very sharp. After the accidents CHP was stationed there to ticket speeders, now I here CHP will no longer be ticketing, go figure!

[bodryn]

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

[brainburrito]

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

[chinga4tumadre]

@brainburrito yes!!!!!!!lol

[3ntity000]

coolnesssssssss

[i2ockinDan]

Scary stuff

[fiksep]

This is an awesome video, good work!

[vietrice13]

And then it breaks

[jajenks1980]

LOL thats hilarious but true

[bleepmeep]

i love how the cranes look like these little creepy spiders lol

[ojeestudio]

Wow - amazing!

[markmnorcal]

We are slaves to the bridge!

[revolutionzerox]

thats insane..

[Kenzo215]

lolz malacki

[zzkinnardzz]

the white truck to the left just sits there the HOLE TIME.

[RadiantSilverlighter]

whole, not hole.

[hemirango]

its there for good luck

[rugbynimbus]

Wow. Just look at all those construction workers turning out to protest healthcare reform.

Fox News estimated the turnout at 3.5 million.

[xmagistar]

even aliens are impressed with our work :)

[KhyberBoy09]

nice time lapse. billie jean is not my girl

[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. :)

[Malacki]

We're still unable to get a long, world peace is far away, and here, in our own country, we can't pass a law to make sure that everybody can afford to live. Take back the credit and buy yourself something nice with it. Humans suck. If reincarnation is possible, I hope I come back as a double headed dildo.

[455Dan554]

Oh wow if you pause at somewhere in 1:58 - 1:59 you'll notice a black UFO at the top of the screen

[Gojirobe]

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

[455Dan554]

It's still Unidentified, Flying Object

[resellworld]

okay

okay

we got it

we know what you meant

,......it was only a joke....just like the whole "UFO" idea

[Discchord]

No, I'm pretty sure that is a flying Nephalim that is depositing chemtrails to make 9/11 an inside job.

Can one video on YouTube avoid nut jobs?

[resellworld]

or an airplane

or a helicopter

or a bird

no, wait......Its Superman!!!!!!

[455Dan554]

which is why i said UFO,

Unidentified Flying Object

[RoyalHim]

I thought they were building a new bridge?

What are they doing?

[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.

[AntiApparatchik]

Amazing Work!! Thanks for posting.

[NIVPsalm51]

check out 1:58 -2:00

Seems the Galactic Federation is checking on the progress.

[yengacha]

like ants.... building something..

[vladimir2366fa]

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

[soothsayer0]

slow down the video so we get a chance to see all the suicide jumpers who jumped during this time lapse.

[lukeslandspeeder]

yes it is. thanks God.

[mobdemon1]

wow datz freaking awesome

[RuthlessCriminal408]

Isn't it Amazing what we Humans can do

[AllanT101]

yup =]

[XZiNsAnEXZ]

well its more the machines but eh if u wanna give credit to humans go ahead

[dunti21]

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

[XZiNsAnEXZ]

actually i do know that, but um thanks for the random fact?

[MrFlowmingo]

crazy

[benfirst]

damn fog.

[nateUPSB]

I THINK I CAN SEE THE CRACK FROM HERE

[TheColoradoan]

Awesome. Love it, every second. Thanks to your co-worker.

[WarsharkProductions]

Neat-O!

[astrepo]

Wonderful, Spectacular what an engineering marvel. Great job Caltrans!!

[bykashka75]

great job CalTrans for dumping California with your idiotic projects

[dylanhazard]

i moved out of the area in 04,and im wondering where did all that traffic go?the freeways must have been messed up in the north bay.

[tormentes0ulx]

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

[thequake180]

its the ugliest bridge in the world.

[dylanhazard]

you have not been around much huh....the cosway bridge in galveston texas is just like a freeway overpass.

[bykashka75]

true

[tshezz]

pretty slick..

[geckoman07]

whoever is my 40th subber gets 5 stars on all there videos :D only need 5 more subbers to better hurry! cool video :D

[flipme12]

how many days did took that repair job ??

[blondman86]

six days if u know to calm yo can see idiot boy

[globaltrance86]

Bay Area people Holla!

[ThickSiciliaN]

YEE

[chipchippies]

now there's a new turn. it's pretty crazy.

[JingTheTheif]

It was so cool when the part of the bridge move to the left.

[inuyasha103190]

I can't wait to drive on it. But it's a 80 mile drive lolz

[yuareyummyy]

wow. they must've really worked really hard.

[porschefan102]

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

[somadudesbcglobalnet]

Amazing stuff. Thanks for uploading

[cblww34]

when making the video of building this mini model, how were you able to not show your hands?

[daredevilsnagger]

wtf...who said anything about a mini model. this is the real bridge. hence the light chance and the fog.

[cblww34]

oh thank you for informing me. i couldn't tell

[metalmikegg]

Is this a new bridge being built or is this an old bridge being repaired?? The only thing i know about san francisco is that is where METALLICA is from!! So make it safe!! LOL

[itgfreak100]

its 2 bridges now

[misterpers0n]

speed hax

[lamunecadog]

very cool thanks for sharing

[xXshermanaterXx]

that was cool

[AnotherCopierOfM13]

Civil engineering FTW!

[wright0340]

damn they are working hard

[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

[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.

[Amiduffer]

Big thanks to your friend. God bless our engineers!

[terickfic]

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

[beachbummm69]

isnt this the same bridge they are already finding cracks in? must be more steel for china...ill be theres lead in the paint too

[horaciovel]

Maravilloso!

[historico69]

we look like a bunch of ant nerds

[squalea]

cool vid, thanks for posting :)

[boduke70]

Very cool and interesting video.

[DimitriiStalenkovich]

noooo

[famousMIKO]

Lol!!!

3:43 is funny! XD

It's like... GRRRRGHHGHGHRRRRGHHHGRHG!!! XD XD XD

[jddp2]

hi guys

[nanosec111]

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

[Vidabonds]

R.I.P bay bridge...we will always remember you lol

[whaks14]

World's Toughest Fixes

[Mrarchab]

o k

[bigwillisawesome]

And i should Care why???

[brabradabrat]

OMG please someone tell me I am not the only one who don't give two shits on what myksweet said? Every time I look at his comment it makes me yawn and want to go to bed.

[myksweet]

I was answering Lokiwho's question butt-wipe.

[brabradabrat]

no seriously how did they do that? THEY DID ALL THAT IN 3 min 46 sec.? WOW. Why were the people there complaining? Big deal it slowed down traffic. It couldn't have slowed the traffic down that much just under 4 miniutes.

[spikonaleash]

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

[gymer15]

In frisco they would like to change bay to gay

[sf49ersrule]

nice joke hater... ya frisco is one of the most known citites in the world.... doesnt mean everyone is gay there... even i liv in da bay, but im not gay. ur probabily just some east coast kid that really needs a life

[510FILMS]

HAHA, your so fuckin funny and original!! They should totally change the bay to gay cuz we're all gay in the Bay Area. Fuck off, your probably some eat coast stuck up asshole.

[josephgrovers]

Yeah, i've been to baltimore and washington dc, i plan on going back again to baltimore so i can go to philadelphia and new york. My cousin(who has lived in california for most of her life) says tons of people where they live think baltimore is the greatest city ever. Yeah, it's a great city but they're missing out, they've never been to california. California has it all.

[Nnexxxx]

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

[josephgrovers]

No, ill explain it in detail. So my cousin has lived in california for her whole life except for about 2 years, she's been living in baltimore. She lives in baltimore and says alot of the people there think they're in the greatest city in the country except they haven't been to california. My cousin HAS lived in california for her whole life except for the 2 years she's been in baltimore.

[saturday7142007]

Not really.. go away, faggot. You couldn't afford to live here even if you wanted to.

[TheParanoidhybrid]

@saturday7142007

Right because all I care about is money. Why did people come to California? The Gold Rush. The only thing that I see out of California is corruption, poor people, relaxation, high taxes, pollution, and lastly people in large quantities. Of course the only people who can relax are tourists and wealthy people. Everyone else who makes $60,000 or less a year are working there tails off for you. Now wonder I never wanted to live there. LA was a poor place to build a city thermal invt

[yipleyap]

Well you have obviously never been to California and probably dont even know where San Fransisco is in the state.

Please tell me and the rest of youtube HOW California is corrupt

and why you say that it is full of poor people, high taxes, pollution and lots of people.

One of the main reasons why California is polluted more than lets say Montana is because all the pollution that China makes! All their pollution goes over the Pacific and comes down on the West Coast.

[yipleyap]

How can you say that we have large quantities of people? Yes there are big cities such as LA, San Jose, San Diego... but have you ever been to the mountains there? There is basically no one except in the tourist destinations like everywhere else. People move to California when they retire because it is so beautiful.

You probably hate Cali because we are mostly democrats.

[TheParanoidhybrid]

well I can tell you were San Fran is dude. After that there's really no point in saying anything else because "probably dont even know where San Fransisco is in the state.".

if you go to the center of the state and look west and go over about 100-200 miles. Then look up about 20-60 miles and you should see it. That is off the top of my head.

[minzi2047]

the bay can mean anything faggit

the bay is also oakland

oakland is like L.A. but theres more black people than latinos

lol

[portbalto]

I heard that they used Dove soap as lubrication for sliding the span into place.

[510FILMS]

Idk why you got -2 on the comment voting, but ya they did do that.

[LIVE5FAST1DIE0FUN]

i just drive over it the day it reopened. very smooth but i'm not a fan of the 40 mph turn.

[portbalto]

How much is the Toll price today?

[LIVE5FAST1DIE0FUN]

$4 for toll.

[klaz48]

Lmao they just slided a piec of it out

[xlax4fun]

How recent is this? I drove thru SF in July 08, on a trip from Ohio, and saw this being built. Looked pretty cool to me. Cool little vid for anyone interested in progress and engineering.

[teft]

This took place over Labor Day weekend 2009. Just last weekend.

[Lokiwho]

So what happens to the other part of the bridge that they left behind? What was the purpose of doing this construction? Just curious, not trying to be an ass.

[LIVE5FAST1DIE0FUN]

The bay bridge is too old so they're building a new one to replace it.

[brentchico]

because they fucking wanted to. for shits and giggles. hahahahahaha im joking.

[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

[Sushibubbles17]

i sorta want the new bridge and i sorta dont becuz like it mite not be stable cuz sometimes they couldve made it wrong ya know?

[drvrprmt]

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

[Tallerico500]

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

[lighangel]

2:14~2:18 is sooo cool

not the bridge but how it changed from day to night

[jeepers2655]

1972 was the last time i went across this 1

[portbalto]

I went across it Sept 1989 just one month before the quake.

[Irondo11]

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

[codeagent47]

well done!

[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.

[thrummer1953]

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

[hikari94122]

To all the idiots who are doing 10 mph on the s-curve on the lower deck, the speed is 40. Traffic is so fucked up because of u!

[MrHairymanback]

bridge building seems like a worth-while job

[ermollejuo]

why did they change the angle of the road so sharp ??

[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

[TheQuendi]

Give me a break...the Bay Bridge is owned and maintained by Caltrans, which is a department in the GOVERNMENT of California.

[purestr8str]

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

[Boredn3ss]

hahahahahahahha

[osfavelados]

if this was goverment workers would take them probably a yr to get that done... and ya goverment is runing country into the dirt.

[clearlyme2u]

The Bay Bridge is privately owned. Unless I am mistaken these repairs are made on private funds. Do you really think the government COULD do this in a few days?

And now they want us to believe that a government run healthcare system would be better.

[fr8nk1e]

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

[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

[loganeu]

great vid

[OnakiEmbialik]

I'm glad they're doing this... What if they didn't notice it and bridge gave out, killing dozens of people?

[CuriousGeorge53142]

that's crazy how they moved that section and inserted a new one...i need a b4 and after picture

[Taurus702B]

For a state that is in debt they did a pretty damn good job.

[EuroRocket]

good job caltrans!

[XxDrBubblezxX]

YEA MY CITY

[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.

[MrDogman614]

it is watching paint dry

[nainqx]

it's like watching paint dry

[ThatKidProductions1]

nice =]

[1jaime2222]

ooo..

[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?

[PhoBoDacBiet]

whats yyour parents names lol

[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!

[telj1]

Cool
