Caltrans now has a long-term fix for the cracked eyebar on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
The repair will entail cutting and removing about 12 ft of the cracked eyebar and replacing it with new steel that will be spliced into what is left of the existing eyebar. Caltrans came up with the idea for the fix, with input coming from the joint venture of American Bridge-Fluor, which is the prime contractor for the new San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
