Caltrans Lifts First SAS Deck Section onto Bay Bridge
The first permanent deck section of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge�s Self-Anchored Suspension Span was hoisted this week onto the bridge�s temporary support steel.
Caltrans� bridge spokesman Bart Ney says this historic lift marks the moment when the action on the permanent sections begins to shift from fabrication to construction of the iconic span. When construction is completed, the SAS will be the largest of its kind, at 2,047-ft-long and will have a single 525-ft-tall tower.
