BRIDGEWORK


Western portion of the Oakland-San Francisco
Bay Bridge

So CalTrans announced yesterday that more water has been found in the anchor tower-area of the newly-built eastern span of the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge, increasing the possibility of corrosion. Officials say the water has been drained but also added there is no room to maneuver replacement rods into place, should the exposed rods show signs of corrosion.

Opening 10 years late and coming in $5 billion dollars over-budget, it really looks like we didn't get a whole lot of bang for our buck, huh?

I just hope I'm not on that bridge when it falls into the bay.
