Construction Series: Bay Bridge horseshoe, painting and study

After the Loma Prieta earthquake, the damaged freeways, bridges, and viaducts required complete reconstruction up to the Bay Bridge toll plaza. I was involved with the design and construction of the new structures and was onsite when the horseshoe flyover was jacked into place. It was quite an engineering feat.

This is the preliminary study for the Cypress painting, working out the composition and amount of detail to include.
