Just before 3:00 a.m. Monday, work crews moved the
6500-ton bridge into place which allows the final stages of upper and lower deck
work to begin.
Caltrans closed the entire bridge at 8pm Friday
night for a seismic safety repair that involves a 350-foot section of I-80 just
outside the east entrance to the Yerba Buena tunnel.
The project has moved ahead of projections throughout the
weekend.
*Roll in of the new replacement bridge began just
before midnight Sunday, and was completed before 3:00 a.m. allowing for the
finishing work to begin on the upper and lower decks of the bridge.
We will continue to update you on the progress of this project.
