Most people know of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge — it may be the most famous bridge in America — but in actuality it's the lesser used of the two bridges to San Francisco. The other bridge, Bay Bridge, ties San Francisco to Oakland and receives double the daily commuters. It's so long that it actually has to attach itself to an island in the middle of the bay, then continue to the other side. However it was not structurally sound, particularly for a major earthquake that would hit San Francisco any day now, and in 1989 part of it collapsed after a 6.9 shake. After heavily debating whether to buff up the current bridge or just remake the whole thing, twenty years later they finally built a completely new bridge that leads in from Oakland to the island in the middle of the bay (the section that goes from the island to San Francisco does not to my knowledge require any repairs).

The new bridge looks really nice and has improved traffic. However the old one is still just sitting there. I have no idea if there are measures to tear it down, but you literally drive across a bridge with a fucking bridge right next to you. It's pretty ridiculous. And at night, it's kinda creepy with this dark and abandoned structure looming over you:
