I think the purpose of the work that was done was to make it more "earthquake friendly". But why do all that work when they're building a whole new bridge right next to it?

I saw this morning on Channel 4 about why the old section is being replaced.

They replaced it because it's going to be used (part of connection) for the new twin bridge.

$15? Someone will hack it down to $5. Fastrak, watch!

Nice pictures, by the way. I would have loved to play some touch football in the tunnel.
