California 480 Freeway: 20 years later
Carl Rogers
On October 17th 1989, the California 480 Freeway fell in the Loma
Prieta earthquake. The double-decker signature freeway had overlay
the Embarcadero and San Francisco and its bayside ports. Today, there
are very little remnants of the 480 as the greenery projects and
Interstate 80 reconstruction continues near the western span of the
San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
In 2005, the Worldwide Transportation Library (WWTL) did some forensic
studies of Route 480 -- or what was left of it at the time. These
photographs are available at http://wwtl.info/#ca-480.html .
Since 1989, the state of California has invested billions of dollars
in seismic retrofitting for its bridges across the state to handle
earthquakes at 7.0 on the richter scale or above.
The WWTL not only provides a wide collection of California State Route
photographs, but also the largest sampling of roads in the United
States and the world. Visit today at http://wwtl.info .
Cheers,
Carl Rogers

You *should* know that, since you live there. But then you'll piss out
anything to try and get a site hit, won't you.

No it didn't. It stayed up, but had suffered some damage and was
was finally demolished. And good riddance, I say.

Nope. The photo may be 480, but 480 ended way before it got to
Pier 39 s the photo description claims.

Unfortunately, the above rather makes shreds of your credibility.

Fair enough, but to, "further shred," his credibility, doesn't he have
to _have_ credibility first, for in my view he has *no* credibility to
begin with....

More like 9 Nov 1989.
17 Oct 1989 was the Loma Prieta earthquake; it gave me a good
scare.
