The eastern span of the Bay Bridge, which had previously been a cantilever bridge, which was damaged during the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake, and shown to have quite obvious seismic deficiencies.

Its replacement is a self-anchored suspension bridge.

The original western span, actually a double suspension bridge, remains standing, as constructed in 1933, 91 years ago.

The western span had substantial seismic remediation applied in 2000-2001.
