changing course

Went on a really cool tour today. The eastern span of the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge is being replaced. Some of you may recall that in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake (during the '89 World Series) knocked out a section of this bridge. It only took them a month to replace the failed sections and get traffic moving again into San Francisco. But it's taking them 24 years to open the replacement span.

 

The tour was on a boat seeing it from beneath, and up on the new bridge deck. Great weather for a tour. Here are some highlights.
