The original plan for the bridge was for the 'bridge district' stay in business until the bridge was paid for than the bridge was to become the property/responsibility of 'CalTrans'. But the 'Bridge district' voted themselves jobs forever and went on a spending spree that continues to this day. And now we find out the money is gone and the bridge is in need of repair....guessing another toll increase is due since the $7 per vehicle is not enough for the bureaucrats to waste. Heads should roll...but you and I both know that will not happen.

I thought they NEVER stopped painting the GG Bridge. At least that’s how it used to be. They start at one end and paint to the other, and then go back to the beginning and start over.

I fully expect them to paint the thing pink one day. Maybe then they will take care of it.

The new Bay Bridge was prefabricated in China.

Is that what the author wants to do here?

After being stationed in Japan for several years, my folks and I sailed back to the US and under the Golden Gate Bridge into Oakland. The ship we sailed on was the MSTS General W. A. Mann. The trip took two weeks to cross...

don’t understand why they don’t have massive sacrificial anodes attached to it.

Michael Savage was taking about this the other day. Said the potholes were bug enough to swallow a Volkswagen.

Since California is going to secede, let it fall into the bay...

California needs to pay their share of the national debt before they leave...

A guy offered to sell the GGB to me last time I was in SF.
I'm glad I didn't buy it.

It hasn’t been changed yet to the Harvey Milk Memorial Bridge?

I am surprised it’s only 7 bucks. Could be the cheapest bridge in the country. New York is almost 20 a bridge. A little less with ez pass.

Many of the old suspension bridges in the UK, designed by Thomas Telford, used wrought iron chains as the main cables. These chains, at the time of construction, were submerged in boiling linseed oil for two weeks.

Now, after more than 150 tears in service, the chains still exhibit no signs of corrosion.

A bridge is falling apart … let me guess, could San Francisco possibly have a Democratic mayor?

I am beginning to see an increasing number of leftist communities listing their infrastructure needs in hopes Trump will send a bunch of money their way.

Somebody went and sampled the bridge so now you can play it. Fun stuff.
