Over 2 million cubic yards of rock excavation • ation underway

• A 170-foot-wide rectangular spillway chute more than a

half-mile in length

• A six-gate submerged spillway

• A stepped stilling basin with 60-foot-high walls

• A 300-foot-high gravity dam

• Construction of a new bridge downstream

See a modern engineering marvel up close as you examine

the Bay Bridge’s foundation piling, the concrete column construction, the installation

of the prefabricated bridge deck sections, the construction of the suspension system

support towers, and the Oakland-side touchdown project. If you want to be a part of

history, you will want to join this field trip.

Take a closer look at the landsliding and active faulting that

help create the scenic beauty of the Coast Range of California

even as they affect Engineering structures from landslides in the Fairfield/Vallejo

area and the Berkley Hills, as well as ongoing creep deformation and fault-related

landforms along the active Hayward fault through the East Bay communities of

Richmond, Berkeley, and Oakland
