“It will take Caltrans ages to fix this mess. The still haven’t finished the eastern span of the Bay Bridge and it has been almost 18 years.”

That is probably due to local bay area governments pimping the feds for reconstruction funds for friends companies. They of course have to have the contracts distributed according to diversity and affirmative action standards. They drag it out as long as possible with retro fits that take decades or the next big earthquake,which ever comes first. Notice how soon Caltrans got the freeways up after up after the Northridge earthquake something like 6 to 12 mos.

It is probably a safe bet that Je$$e Hi Jack$on will be pimping for his Ho’s to get the big bucks for for doing nothing. Those of us in our 60’s and mid 50’s will probably never see this get finished.
