An East Bay resident's viral TikTok post of tunnels under the Bay Bridge toll plaza has awakened a bit of bridge nostalgia and allowed residents a rare look into Bay Area history.
It generated quite a bit of reaction, and of course, curiosity. Are they open to the public? Can anyone walk through them?
"There is a big green state sign there that shows you this was the public access tunnel right here," Ney said."Anyone that needed to get to the toll plaza could come to the Burma Road side, where the buses stopped and then that was their access," Ney said. Ney said it's dangerous when you go up the stairs too because of the ongoing traffic. Most recently, an oversized load destroyed one of the booths.
"Our icon is bridges in the Bay Area, so if you dig a little deep and are interested in the history, this is kind of a fun fact," said Ney.
