A chunk of steel lay in the middle of the far left lane of the upper deck and an object that appeared to be a cable was on a Ryder truck dangling from the side of the span.

Unclear here what was dangling? The Ryder truck?

The bracket they put on the cracked area on Labor Day weekend. It came off an landed on the upper deck. The cable was attached to it. There is nothing really dangling. The cable is about the thickness of an arm and struck the Ryder truck. The driver had minor injuries (he was on the news).
This area has to stand for about 2-3 more years until the new bridge is finished. It’s amazing how they are building a new bridge and integrating it to the existing tunnel on Yerba Buena Island with only three scheduled closures.
