Imagine San Francisco’s waterfront hidden behind a double-decker concrete freeway. Built in the late 1950s, the Embarcadero Freeway carried traffic along the city’s eastern edge while cutting downtown off from the Ferry Building and the bay beyond. Long criticized as an eyesore, the elevated roadway was badly damaged by the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, creating an opportunity to rethink the waterfront entirely. Demolition began in 1991, reconnecting the city with its shoreline and eventually making way for today’s palm-lined Embarcadero. It’s a rare LostSF story where what disappeared is remembered mostly for how dramatically San Francisco improved without it.
