With the current Facebook Expansion, BKF has been working with Caltrans on the approval of a signature Frank Gehry multi-use bridge over Rt 84. The multi-use bridge will provide public access from the new Facebook Campus to the Bay Trail, Bayfront Park, and the National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) located on the opposite side of Route 84. To avoid impacts to the National Wildlife Refuge, the proposed bridge will run parallel to Bayfront Expressway and directly connect to the relocated Bay Trail. The proposed bridge will include two outlook platforms containing information placards that overlook the Refuge.

• Grade separated multi-use bridge over Bayfront Expressway
