The Benicia-Martinez Bridge span, itself, is about 1.2 miles long, rising about 138 feet above the Carquinez Strait. It is part of the I-680 spur, which begins at U.S. 101 in San Jose. The bridge, itself, connects the towns of Martinez, on the south side of the span, and Benicia, which is on the north side of the span.
Tolls are collected in the northbound direction only, in Martinez, at a plaza just south of the main bridge span. For southbound traffic, drivers are, technically, crossing a different bridge, the George Miller Jr. Memorial Bridge, which are the southbound lanes of the I-680 spur.
