The Greenfield Bay Bridge is an iconic cable-stayed bridge across the Bay of Greenfield linking North Lannex with northern undeveloped wilderness north of Sunnyside. Named evidently over its crossed body of water, the Bridge opened in 1989 serving as the northernmost water crossing in the Greenfield metropolitan area.

Tolls

When the bridge opened in 1989, the toll was 50 cents in each direction, with the toll plaza on the east side. In 1995, tolls were eliminated on the Bridge by frustrated commuters. The California Department of Transportation was able to devolve authority over toll bridges to the Greenfield Transit Authority in May 2004. The toll plaza houses California Highway Patrol facilities.
