Abstract
The seismically-vulnerable San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge East Spans, which connect Oakland to Yerba Buena Island (YBI), will be replaced with a dual, 3.6-kilometer-long parallel structure. The cost of the replacement bridge is estimated to be $1.6 billion. Performance criteria requires that the bridge, which is situated between the Hayward and the San Andreas faults, must be operational following a 1,500-year return period earthquake from either of these two faults.
