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.
No problem. The new country of Mexifornia can pay for it.
That was my understanding too. Maybe the city or state is just looking for a reason to raise taxes again.
It won’t matter if they exit, unless you happen to be traveling abroad when it rusts out.

They never did stop back when California actually had a functional government.
Now corruption and massive entitlement fraud has become a fiscal black hole that drains all funds that used to be allocated to the productive projects that was once quaintly considered to be the function Government.

Well, they are not doing an adequate job. Go drive the westernmost southbound lane and take a gander at the handrails that are rusting away to nothing. The problem with the GG Bridge is that it takes a much harder beating from the weather and it’s not painted, it’s top coat is a PRIMER. The Bridge District is run by people from SF and Marin Counties, and they have continually pi$$ed away toll money for Bus and Ferry Service, bike lanes, etc., so the painting suffers. They did replace the entire concrete roadbed 15 or 20 years ago.
According to the article, they do that. But they never paint the actual main cables on each side. Never since it was built, they just spot paint bad spots on them. That's what they are saying is needed badly.
