Spanning the Carquinez Strait at San Francisco Bay’s northeastern end, the Carquinez Bridge is a landmark of Vallejo and is actually comprised of two parallel bridges.

The bridge was actually a single structure when it was first built in 1927. Later in 1958, the second cantilever bridge was completed. While there aren’t any particular things that one must stop by and see on the bridge itself, the view from the bridge is absolutely spectacular.

Driving across the bridge gives you a gorgeous view of the straight and of the neighboring city of Crockett. As such, it’s a must-see for anyone who visits in Vallejo as it is an iconic landmark of the region.
