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 Visitor Center

The Gant Bridge Visitor Center is situated on the San Fierro side of the bridge. It consists of a "gift shop, boring museum and tourist information". The gift shop and museum are inaccessible.
