Imagine driving across a bridge near the North Pole, leaving Alaska at one end and arriving in Siberia at the other end; or visiting a city built within a pyramid in Tokyo Bay; or speeding from New York to London in just an hour through a tunnel under the Atlantic Ocean. These are just some of the projects that come to life as builders and engineers design and construct the largest, most outrageous and awe-inspiring projects ever conceived. Jaw-dropping computer animation breathes life into such fantastic, yet possible creations. OAKLAND BAY BRIDGE: For the men and women on the job, the New Bay Bridge is the project of a lifetime. It is the biggest construction project in California history. The New Bay Bridge will replace the most heavily trafficked bridge in the United States: the span linking San Francisco to Oakland and the East Bay. The budget is $2.8 billion, all public funds. The project was due to be finished in 2003. Now, it's looking more like 2007. There's enormous pressure to keep to schedule, but the daily, unanticipated problems of building a two mile earthquake-proof road over 300 feet of water are tough to beat.
