Named after state senator John Nejedly, the bridge is signed as part of State Route 160. Unlike other toll bridges in California, it has only a single lane of traffic for each direction.[3] It is one of several bridges in the Bay area that are traversable by pedestrians and bicyclists in addition to automobiles.[2] The current bridge was completed 46 years ago in 1978, is 1.8 miles (2.9 km) in length, and opened to traffic that December.[4]
