The main terminal in San Francisco of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge is a mile west of shore, due to the height of the upper bridge deck. This distance was required to gain ground level at a 3% grade. This double decked $77,000,000.00 bridge stretches across the largest navigable body of water ever bridged. The upper deck, 58 ft. wide, is divided into six auto lanes. The lower will carry three truck lanes and two train tracks. Main spans are 2320 ft. long with a vertical clearance of 185 ft
