The Richmond–San Rafael Bridge is the northernmost east–west crossing of California's San Francisco Bay. Carrying Interstate 580, it connects Richmond on the east shore to San Rafael on the west. The bridge opened on September 1, 1956, replacing service previously provided by the Richmond–San Rafael Ferry Company. It was the last bridge built across the bay that replaced a ferry service, and the state legislature later renamed it to honor Senator John F. McCarthy, who championed its funding.
