Oakland Bay Bridge has FINALLY reopened, but not soon enough to save me from a 2 hour morning commute. So, San Francisco should be back to "normal" by this afternoon ("normal" being a relative term, of course).

They really need more govt unionized workers doing nothing in CALTRANS. Maybe the lib idiots in CA will wake up but I doubt it.

Whatever happened to the “new” Bay Bridge being built beside the old one.

Is it still under construction or did they abandon the idea when cost overruns started?

I heard it was due to inferior steel from China.

I don't know if that's true, but it wouldn't surprise me. My mind just went blank as to all the problems with goods from China in the past several years. Melamine in dog food...

Five bucks says that it will be closed again for similar reasons within the year.

Well, I hate to be on one of those Bay bridges in a 7.5 plus earthquake. I think those bridges has not been retrofitted.

The other day I found what seems to me to be a really good explanation of what broke, how they tried to fix it, how that broke, and now how they've tried to fix it again.

“So, San Francisco should be back to “normal” by this afternoon.”

Define normal. On second thought, please don’t when “normal” is used with Gay Frisco.
