Holy Grap!!! 580 collapse (and re-opening Thursday May 24th)

Just saw a news article on SFGate about 580 collapsing due to a tanker fire!

Article



"The driver, who got out of the truck on his own after it overturned, hailed a taxi to a nearby hospital, where he is in critical but stable condition with burns.":sign0094:

Nope, you gotta go 580-980-880. I cross that bridge 6 days a week for work... this is gonna suck.

Look familiar?

So wait a second. I can't go from San Francisco to San Jose? The news station lied!!!!!!!!! Oh well, San Mateo bridge it is.

PS: At least San Mateo is a high-speed bridge in my book (takes quite a bit even at 90-95)
