California has been spending all their road money on liberal vote buying schemes!

We here in the Golden State are falling prey to rot from the top down...

...the parts that fell were two high-strength rods and a saddle that were part of the emergency repair that delayed the opening of the bridge on Labor Day weekend.

Thank Obama for shovel-ready jobs. This should be fixed as quickly as the initial work was done.

Please stop by the FReepathon thread and give it a bump. If you haven’t donated yet, please give it some thought.

Thank you!

Extreme high winds today in the area. There were high wind warnings on all the bridges during commute this morning and wind was still strong during evening commute.

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?

If this happened without an earthquake, imagine what a 5.0 on the Richter scale will do, nonetheless anything stronger.

Caltrans officials said the parts that fell were two high-strength rods and a saddle that were part of the emergency repair that delayed the opening of the bridge on Labor Day weekend.

They should have used duct tape (or maybe they did).
