Traffic resumes on Bay Bridge ahead of schedule
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Traffic flowed in both directions on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge 11 hours ahead of schedule, as construction crews wrapped up repairs Monday evening.
The bridge reopened to traffic at 6 p.m., instead of at 5 a.m. today, as originally scheduled. It was termed “a tremendous achievement” by transportation officials. Over three days, workers tore out an old 350-foot section and replaced it with a 6,500-ton retrofitted section.
