Description: The Dumbarton Bridge, a vital transportation link in the San Francisco Bay Area, spans the southern part of the bay, connecting the cities of Menlo Park in San Mateo County and Fremont in Alameda County. This bridge, part of State Route 84, plays a crucial role in easing traffic congestion by providing an alternative route to the heavily traveled San Mateo and Bay Bridges. The current structure, opened in 1984, replaced an earlier bridge built in 1927, and features a total length of approximately 1.63 miles. It accommodates both vehicular and bicycle traffic, with dedicated bike lanes enhancing accessibility for non-motorized commuters. The bridge's strategic importance is underscored by its role in regional connectivity, facilitating the movement of people and goods across the bay, and contributing to the economic vitality of the surrounding areas.
