Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge

Description

The Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge is the only bridge in the U.S. named for a blue collar worker, a construction worker, an Iron Worker. It represents the men and women of all building and construction trades who work on and build these projects which become monuments for generations to see and visit.

The Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge spans the Carquinez Strait and carries west-bound traffic on Interstate 80 from Vallejo to Crockett in California. It also has a pedestrian / bicycle path.

Mission

Without the "Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge" a 501c3, non-profit corporation, this bridge will be just another nameless span. The State will not replace the signs, nor will they inform the public of the significance of its name. Think about it - do you know who the Oakland - San Francisco Bay Bridge or the Benicia - Martinez Bridge is named for? This group was formed so that in 10, 25 or 50 years from now, people will still know this bridge's name and recognize the contributions of construction workers to our society.
