Bridge officials originally planned to retrofit the viaduct to withstand earthquakes but recently decided it made more sense to replace it with a new, sturdier structure. </p></blockquote> <p>Uh...</p> <p>There's this little issue that 3,000 people (most importantly, me) live on Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island who will apparently be trapped for an entire holiday weekend.</p> http://haverkamp.com/2007/04/11/bay-bridge-entirely-closed-on-labor-day-weekend#comment bay_bridge caltrans treasure_island Wed, 11 Apr 2007 00:13:36 -0500 gregh 464 at http://haverkamp.com
