BRIDGEWORK


So over the last few months, the newly-opened eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge has been plagued with several safety issues, such as broken bolts and poorly manufactured and installed support rods. As if that wasn't enough, it was also revealed earlier this week that rainwater is leaking into the bridge, causing corrosion.

In spite of what increasingly appears to be a very poorly-built bridge, today's edition of SFGATE is reporting that the contractor, American Bridge/Fluor Enterprises, has been paid $49 million in bonuses, including $20 million for completing the bridge on time.

What. The. Fuck?
