A Visit To Construction 129

While visiting  San Francisco, we drove over to Construction 129, a WW2 era fortress that was never fully completed. It's now a park where you can tour what would have been the highest artillery battery in the bay area.

After walking through the tunnel, you arrive at one of the gun placements. This was to be the mounting place for one of the two 16 inch guns.

We then walked up the hill to the mountaintop above the bunker.  The views are stunning.

There are also lookouts and more placements for smaller guns.

You can see down to the parking area.  It was full the entire time we were there with many waiting for a space.

Some of the fortress is underground and not accessible to the public, but there is still lots to see. Here's an old plan showing some of the under ground area you can not access.  Though, the main large tunnels to the guns are open.
