Tough traffic likely after Bay Bridge rod snaps

Quote:

SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge has been closed indefinitely after a rod installed during last month’s emergency repairs snapped, causing a traffic nightmare for the 280,000 motorists who cross the landmark span every day.

Engineers on Wednesday will evaluate the damage caused when the rod and metal brace fell into the 73-year-old bridge’s westbound lanes during Tuesday evening’s rush hour.

At least two vehicles — a car and a small truck — either were struck by or ran into the fallen rod, said California Highway Patrol Officer Peter Van Eckhardt, but no injuries were reported.

The California Department of Transportation said Tuesday that it will remain closed indefinitely.
