	San Mateo-Hayward Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The bridge is signed as part of California State Highway 92, whose western terminus is at the town of Half Moon Bay on the Pacific coast.
		It is roughly parallel to and lies between the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and the Dumbarton Bridge, and is sometimes used by commuters to avoid traffic delays due to emergencies on those bridges.
		The speed limit on the bridge itself is 65 mph (100 km/h) (the only Bay Area bridge to carry such a high speed limit.) (You may also notice the occasional CalTrans helicopter low to the water, possibly inspecting the bridge.) Traffic stops on the bridge itself are uncommon but do occur.

		The San Francisco Bay is home to some of the most famous and magnificent bridges ever built, including the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, Hayward-San Mateo Bridge and the Dumbarton Bridge.
		Less elegant than its sister bridges, upon completion it was dubbed by bay area residents the "roller coaster bridge." But, even in its austerity, the bridge glides effortlessly across the bay, linking travelers to the hills of Marin and the wine-growing regions of Sonoma and Napa Valley.
		The five bridges of the San Francisco Bay provide not only an expedient means to residents' daily commute, but also offer exceptional combinations of grace and strength that commuters and visitors alike can appreciate as they traverse the Bay Area.

	Cal-Poly coatings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The longest bridge in the world when it was completed in 1929, the original San Mateo-Hayward Bridge was a two-lane, low-level structure of just 35 ft in elevation.
		According to Addis Ambaye, transportation engineer for Caltrans on the San Mateo Bridge project, the goal of utilizing a polyurea coating is to yield a 20-year service life for the new concrete additions to the bridge.
		Elastomer Specialties reformulated its aliphatic polyurea, which forms the top coat on the San Mateo Bridge to produce a color-stable top coat with a coefficient of linear thermal expansion (the rate at which a material expands when heated and contracts when cooled) similar to the aromatic polyurea coating it is applied over.
