During inspection of the east span of the bridge, workers found a crack in one of the eyebars on the side of the structure, said Bart Ney, spokesman for the California Department of Transportation.Nice. Wonder how much that'll cost the state...or how much the cuts caused the crack to be missed until now."It's a significant crack -- significant enough to have closed the bridge on its own," he said in a news conference aired on the agency's Web site Saturday night.
Ney said the crack has to be repaired immediately and acknowledged that the work may stretch past Tuesday when the bridge was scheduled to reopen.
"I want to assure everyone that this repair will be made and we will return the Bay Bridge safer than when we took it out," he said.
Or how many other bridges have cracks. Remember Minneapolis 2 years ago?
