Tuesday is the final day to catch a glimpse of an iconic Bay Area fixture.

The last 288-foot steel section of the old San Francisco Bay Bridge is slated to be demolished during the morning hours between low and high tide.

Steel pieces of the bridge will be lowered onto barges before being shipped to the nearby Port of Oakland to be disassembled.
