A short tribute to the Embarcadero Freeway (CS Route 480) in San Francisco, which was demolished after being damaged by the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.

1959-1991

  • If one good thing came out of the Loma Prieta earthquake it was this freeway being damaged beyond repair. It looks much better now and access to the waterfront was restored.. Except for the businesses in Chinatown almost everybody else preferred the freeway gone.

  • @wwttcc

    And with the new Central Subway being built, not even Chinatown can complain anymore.

  • why w0nt they rebuild this freeway

  • @MacPr0xnxx0

    1 - Car travel is being slowly displaced by mass transit

    2 - Space

    3 - Cost

    4 - Aesthetics
