Local governments and organizations are beginning to drop the "Carquinez Bridge" to the "Al Zampa Bridge". Should we move this article accordingly?
The Carquinez Bridges are the only bridges that are separate westbound and eastbound, thus, it should be named the Carquinez Bridges with an "s". Note that the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge is also composed of three bridge spans, but they are all linked together, so it is in a sense, a complete "bridge" between San Francisco and Oakland.
I nominate renaming this article "Carquinez Bridges" as they are a set of separate bridges. -- Geopgeop 08:37, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Are all three bridges still in operation? If so, what is the traffic pattern? -- Jfruh 07:13, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Could this article be reorganized changing "History and description" into three sections? (1) "Original span (1927-2007)" (2) "Parallel span (1958)" and (3) Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge (2003 replacement span)". This would better setup the article if it does need to split in the future. Infobox bridge can be developed for each section. - ¢Spender1983 ( talk) 15:41, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

OK, don't laugh. I just wrote, but thankfully deleted in time, a complaint that the only map illustrated is a mere inset, showing a strictly local view naming cities none of which I—ignorant doofus as I am, to be sure—have heard of, and that you also need to show a map of all of California, and perhaps one of the U.S. as well, to show us the bridge's location.
Just as I was about to press Send, I thot I'd better go back to the article one more time and see what the zoom icon on the map does. Upon which, of course, my doofus world imploded and I found a fully functional map, whose default initial state could not be a more informative view of much of California and the bridge's location therein, and allowing one to zoom in & out to one's doofus heart's content.
Ergo, I suggest—well, nah; I still escalate it to a complaint:
All a zoom icon tells me is that you can blow up the inset itself to a large size. You need to add a caption telling the user that it will launch a fully functional map of any desired extent.
Yours for a less doofoid world,
