The Bay Bridge - now with a soaring, signature tower anchoring the new east span - is finally open.
The bridge had been scheduled to open at 5 a.m. Tuesday. But construction went smoothly, so at 10:15 p.m. Monday, Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol took down barricades at on-ramps and interchanges and let traffic flow to the bridge for the first time.
Dave and I became part of history last night by being some of the first people to cross the new span right after it opened. (This photo was taken from the Emeryville Marina right after we had crossed the new span.)
