I think Christian first showed this to me, then Orange shared it, then… well, everyone’s been sharing this awesome post today. I read about this some time ago when I learned that the Duboce overpass had once extended down Embarcadero and had been planned to spread its fingers throughout the city.
As I understand it, the first part to be built was the Embarcadero double-decker and Duboce overpass. The public was so outraged by the visual menace on the Embarcadero that the progress on the other splinters was stopped. Then the 1989 Earthquake came and destroyed parts of the Embarcadero freeway, and it was removed. Can’t say that I’m too sad about never having seen the monster obstruction down on the waterfront.
