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

To divert traffic onto a temporary bypass viaduct, making way for the completion of the new East Span, a 300 foot, 3,200-ton section of the existing San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge was rolled aside and replaced over Labor Day weekend, 2009. This video presents the entire weekend twice, as seen from above and below.

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

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
