opened for traffic on November 11, 2003. Originally, the plan was to dedicate the bridge on November 15, but complications involving then just-recalled Governor Gray Davis and the transfer of power to Arnold Schwarzenegger resulted in the date being moved. The coins minted to commemorate the event have the original date on them. The new suspension bridge, consists of the south anchorage, a transition pier, the South and North towers, and the north anchorage. It has spans of 147 m, 728 m, and 181 m. for a total span of . It features a pedestrian and bicycle path, part of a bike trail which it is hoped will eventually circle the entire Bay Area. The towers are each founded on two footings, which are each supported by six vertical, steel shells infilled with reinforced concrete, followed by drilled shafts in rock, i.e., cast-in-drilled hole, or CIDH, piles. The total length of the CIDH pile at the South Tower is approximately 89 m, with about 43 m of drilled shaft in rock. The total length of the CIDH pile at the North Tower ranges from 49 to 64 m, with about 16 to 26 m of drilled shaft in rock. The design parameters used for the South Tower piles were later confirmed by a pile load test. Additional field investigations during construction revealed significant variations in rock conditions at the North Tower, resulting in the redesign of the length of the piles. Major construction challenges encountered during construction of the South Tower piles, and the revised construction procedure, i.e., under-reaming, used by the constructor to mitigate caving. Materials for the New Bridge came from all over the world: Steel Caissons for CIDH: XKT Engineering – Vallejo, California Orthotropic Deck Sections: IHI – Japan Tower and Splay Saddles: Castings: Sheffield Steel – England Finishing and Machining: Kvaerner – England Main Cable Wire: Bridon – England Wire for Cable Wrapping: Canada Cable Bands: France Suspenders (Hardware, Casting, Fabrication): WRCA – St. Joseph, Missouri (3) Maintenance Travelers Under Deck Sections: Jesse Engineering – Tacoma, Washington Tolls Tolls are collected only from automotive traffic headed eastbound, towards Vallejo at the toll plaza on the north side of the bridge. Although the 2003 Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge is the newer span, no toll is charged in that direction, continuing the practice of the now-demolished 1927 span. All-electronic tolling has been in effect since 2020, and drivers
