The '''Greenfield Bay Bridge''' is an iconic [[wikipedia:Cable-stayed_bridge|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 [[wikipedia:California_Department_of_Transportation|California Department of Transportation]] was able to devolve authority over toll bridges to the [[Greenfield Transit Authority]] in May 2004. The toll plaza houses [[wikipedia:California_Highway_Patrol|California Highway Patrol]] facilities. | |||
