Possible construction defects in parts of Calif.'s $6.5B Bay Bridge

AGC SmartBrief | May 29, 2012

The Sacramento Bee investigated Caltrans' records related to the $6.5 billion San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge in California. It says it found "potentially serious defects" that could affect the bridge in an earthquake, including a 19-foot section of pile that supports the main tower that had not fully hardened when it was inspected, according to an engineering report. That and other problems with piles and test data have raised concerns. Caltrans says it is "confident in the structural integrity" of the bridge.
