| Let's think back to Labor Day Weekend. People were angry the bridge was shut, they were angry when the crack was found and the repair time was lengthened. No one seemed to care about the consequences of reopening too soon back then. I think officials were forced into rushing things along. Let's allow common sense to rule this time around and keep the thing closed until it's fixed properly this time! |

| Is the cracked "eye Bar" in approximately the same location of the upper deck that fell in the '89 earth quake? Makes me wonder what else is actually going on with the bridge. |

| Scary for such an incident to happen, especially after the new one was constructed. Shows that it probably was hastily put together and not closely inspected as supposed to?? |

| I can't believe they took my toll knowing the bridge was closed and I'd never be able to cross. Typical govt workers. |

| Can you give us more news for Treasure Island residents? Is there a specific onramp we need to use to get home from the SF side? |

| What do you expect. Sate trying to save money the parts came from a different country according to the news. Not american made trying to save a buck. I think safety should come first. BUY USA |

| I commute on the BB everyday and everyday as I drive on it I cross my fingers there won't be any diasters. We could have had this new span up years ago if it Jerry and Willie Brown stayed out of the decision making process. Anything goes wrong it's on their heads. |

| it's NOT a cable but threaded rod!
|
|
| check at www.baybridgeinfo.org and you'll see the pictures caltrans posted of the repair work over the labor day work. it's not accurate to call the steel rod 'cable' -- having the steel rods snap is much MORE significant to the nature of the mechanical failure. again, please check the bay bridge web site to see the actual picture of the failed components |

| GET THAT NEW BRIDGE UP!!!!
|
|
| Heard there's a slowdown on the last piece of the new bridge -- perhaps this is a sign that everything that can be done, should be done to get the last section up as fast as possible! |
