SAN FRANCISCO NEW BAY BRIDGE DEFECTING TOWER RODS
The new bay bridge completed it's celebration with honorary guests and it appears that defecting tower rods for the bridge is questionable, and also safety awareness for drivers while driving across the bay bridge. Caltrans inspected the bay bridge tower rods due to rusting bolts, and found defective tower rods were lacking preventative elements from keeping them dry to avoid getting rust and corrosion. Caltrans officials shared this information with the oversight committee during a meeting in Oakland this week, and tower steel rods are crucial to stabilize the bay bridge.
