Walk on wild side atop new bridge / Raffle winners experience natural high from 430 feet By Michael Cabanatuan, The Chronicle
The bridge -- the world's newest suspension span and the first such bridge built in the United States in three decades -- opened to traffic after a festive opening celebration that featured a parade, bridge-walk and fireworks. The span is named for Alfred Zampa, a Bay Area ironworker who lived in Crockett, helped build several transbay bridges and is best known for falling from the Golden Gate Bridge during construction and surviving, thanks to safety nets in use for the first time. He died in 2000 at the age of 95.------------------------------------------- posted 8:36 AM :: reference link ::
