Time-Lapse of Bay Bridge construction, Labor Day Weekend, 2009

[FTSkthxdie]

I wonder how soon after they reopened the bridge that the first accident happened on the S-curve. Anyone remember that deal?

[geomodelrailroader]

I saw this on Worlds Toughest Fixes they had to go to the bridge twice because a week after the East span broke and the wires fell into the sea and one landed on a car it took weeks to fix

so whats wrong with the bridge that needs to be redone?

[kilroy94707]

@sideslide23 : see the other YOu tube videos of the earthquake damage. This portion of the bridge is being rebuilt to withstand the estimated temblor expected in the Bay Area within the next 30-40 years. The retro fixes are insufficient for long term survival. The bridge is being rebuilt and these are just the temporary measures to accomodate the new bridge construction.

sorry I'm from Arizona, I never hear the news about california.

In 1989, I've lived in Fresno C.A. never felt an Earthquake at all in my life in Fresno.

@sideslide23 Just because you never felt one while living there, doesn't mean nothing ever happens. There have been 2 major earthquakes and these are just precautions taken in order to make sure nothing bad happens, like in '89. It's costing an estimated 7.5 billion dollars, but it will be worth it :D

@PatriotIzzy well were living in Phoenix AZ which is 5 hours away from L.A. and we don't have to worry about earthquake.
