Folder: S.F. Freeways-James Lick (Bayshore 101).
Written on back: "This striking view of the new 18th Street to Bryant Street overpass project, which is part of the Bayshore Freeway, shows the esthetic design of the steelwork which is now 52 percent erected. All told, approximately 4800 tons of structural steel, fabricated at Bethlehem Pacific's Alameda Works and erected by the company's Erection Division, will be used in the project which incorporates many interesting design features in a definite attempt to reduce the number of columns to a minimum and to make the supporting bents as attractive as possible. Preliminary studies and designs indicated that a structural steel design would be more economical. Of particular interest is the fact that the entire structure will be welded, both in the shop and in the field. It is the first large all-welded structure of its type to be constructed by the State of California, Division of Highways. This new section of the Freeway is nine-tenths of a mile long and will consist of an 8-lane divided highway. It will have connections at Ninth and Tenth Streets, with a one-way off-ramp at Ninth and one-way on at Tenth. The whole project is under the supervision of F. W. Panhorst, Assistant Highway Engineer in charge of bridges for the State of California, Division of Highways, Bridge Department. Charles Harney, Inc., of San Francisco, is the General Contractor".
