At the north end of the bay is the canfilever truss Richmond - San Rafael
Bridge which stretches 55 miles. THe bridge has the dubious distinction of
being struck on several occasions by passing ships, including a World War II
vessel and a Navy radar ship that struck the bridge twice as the ship spun
arround However, the bridge suffered no serious damage. Less elegant then
its sister bridges, upon completion it was dubbed by bay area residents the
" roller waster bridge " But, even in its austerity, the bridge glides
effortlessly across the bay, linking travellers to the hills of Marin and
the wine growing regions of Sonoma and Napa Valley. |
