Summary:"A Tale of Two Bridges chronicles the planning and construction of two versions of the San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge: the original New Deal bridge of 1936 and the 2013 replacement of the eastern half of the bridge. It contrasts the huge popularity and fiscal and engineering success of the 1936 bridge with the cost overruns, delays, and other problems associated with the later structure. It shows how one bridge succeeded where the other did not"--Provided by publisher.
