Alfred Zampa didn�t know what he was getting into when he took a construction job in 1925 on the Carquinez Bridge; one of the first to cross San Francisco Bay. Despite the risk; Zampa relished the challenge and embarked on an illustrious career that made him a local legend. His impressive feats of iron craft are evident in numerous spans; including the Bay Bridge and Golden Gate; as well as others across the country. He was one of the first to survive a fall from the Golden Gate Bridge; making him a founding member of the Halfway to Hell Club in 1936. The Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge; named to honor the man after his death; replaced the first bridge he had worked on nearly eighty years earlier. This remarkable story of skill; grit and enduring spirit is told through oral histories collected by John Robinson and Isabelle Maynard.
