WEST BAY CROSSING - This photograph, taken from Yerba Buena Island, shows Tower W-2 on the San Francisco waterfront, and Piers W-3, W-4, W-5, and W-6, which carry the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge between San Francisco and Yerba Buena Island, a distance of 2 miles. Upon three of these incomplete piers, towers will rise, and Pier W-4 will be the concrete center anchorage between two pairs of steel towers like that on the waterfront.
