High Street Bridge

Alameda, Italy

High Street Bridge

The High Street Bridge is a double-leaf bascule drawbridge spanning 296 feet of the Oakland Estuary in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, United States. It links the cities of Oakland and Alameda. The bridge is opened approximately 1,400 times annually and carries an average of 26,000 vehicles

per year. It was built when the Oakland Estuary was trenched, converting Alameda from a peninsula to an island. The High Street Bridge is one of the four bridges and two tunnels that allow access to Alameda.
