The San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge is a double-decker bridge - you drive at the lower level to go towards the East into Oakland and on top if you're coming West towards San Francisco. This is also Interstate-80 (aka I-80), which goes cross-country, all the way up to New Jersey!
The bridge has two spans that are connected at the Treasure island.
This is the same bridge that got damanged during the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989.

The Western span (between San Francisco and Treasure island) of the bridge has higher towers than the Eastern span.

The Bay Bridge
Cupid's Span
The Cupid's Span is located in Rincon Park in San Francisco on the Embarcadero.
While strolling Northwards towards the Port of San Francisco and the Ferry building on the Embarcadero, we can see the tall SF skyscrappers on the left and bay bridge to the right.

The sculpture symbolizes the place where Tony Bennett "left his heart".
