Part of I-580 by the bay bridge collapsed this morning

I know I don't really "belong" over here but Trey showed me the pic so I had to come see what it was.
That same thing has happened to us TWICE at the same interchange in the last 5 years. It sucks major but luckily it appears you guys didn't have any fatalities.

Ok, popping in again. ![Smilie](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
You guys are really lucky. I'm assuming that you all have a good public transportation system there? Sounds like they are doing the right thing and actually trying to make it easier for people instead of the usual government thing.![Smilie](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The state spent wicked money to fix ours the second time around. They paid something like $250,000 a day for every day UNDER the initial time estimate given by the construction company as a bonus for finishing faster. I've never seen roadwork get done so quickly!

That is definitely some good incentive to work faster for those construction guys. Hopefully they do something similar to fix the 580-80 connection.
I really feel for those who have to adjust their routes or rely on that interchange area. That one area affects all others. I'm over in Sacramento, a decent while away from the area of the accident and I felt some affects during my morning commute. Supposedly there was some trickling of traffic from 80 that went all the way to Sac. Just wonderful
