    i can remember riding the Key streetcar that ran on the bottom deck of the old Bay Bridge with my Mom when i was very young. until the quake, i never thought i would see it torn down.

      That’s a rare chance since the Key system isn’t used anymore. As some of the lines are used by Bart

    Evidently, those steel truss bridges are just too rigid for a seismically active area like coastal California.

    Why was the old bridge replaced and demolished in the first place?

      A section of the bridge collapsed during the loma perieta quake and they decided the bridge needed to be replaced

    all that is left to do is blow up the foundation and the new bridge will stand on its own.

    Yeah say goodbye to good American Steel and the Army Corps of Engineers. The best in the world. Now we use Chinese steel that not even Chile will use as the integrity is so poor. Do you think the new Bridge will last? Say a prayer before crossing.

      LadyStonecut I wouldn't be surprised if the Liberals in People's Republic of California gave it to the Chinese for the cause.
