Description: The San Mateo-Hayward Bridge, often referred to simply as the San Mateo Bridge, is a critical transportation link in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. Spanning approximately 7 miles (11 kilometers) across the San Francisco Bay, it connects the cities of Foster City in San Mateo County and Hayward in Alameda County. The bridge, which is part of State Route 92, serves as a vital east-west corridor for commuters and commercial traffic, significantly alleviating congestion on other regional bridges. Originally opened in 1929 and extensively modernized in the 1960s and again in the 2000s, the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge features a high-rise section to allow for maritime traffic and a low-rise trestle section. Its strategic importance and scenic views make it a notable landmark in the Bay Area's transportation network.
