'''Gant Bridge''' is a road bridge spanning [[San Fierro Bay]], connecting [[San Fierro]] to [[Bayside]]. It is modeled after Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, but shorter and rarely bathed in fog. Like the Golden Gate Bridge, Gant Bridge is a suspension bridge supported by two pillars and painted International Orange. Other similarities include a toll plaza on the San Fierro side, and a large steel latticework structure supported by concrete, built into the hillside, providing the anchorage on the San Fierro side. A plaque near the bridge shows facts about it, and even has "A Piece Of The Bridge". There is also an [[Easter Egg]] at the top of the northern tower - a sign that says "There are no easter eggs up here. Go away" | '''Gant Bridge''' is a road bridge spanning [[San Fierro Bay]], connecting [[San Fierro]] to [[Bayside]].
