Subways Bridge Tunneling Beneath San Francisco Bay
A plan to replace the old ferry route with an 80 mph Bay Area Rapid Transit tunnel across San Francisco Bay. Prefabricated tubes, 130 feet deep at max, link two earthquake faults the San Andreas and Hayward. Giant dredge and barge operations place concrete lining, with links sealed from inside as rails are installed on a concrete bed.
