Where in the article does it give directions? The damn news people didnt know exactly which part failed for a long time. Watch your attitude, youre way too new to be giving lip around here.

 

i went thru there about 12:30 that night....and the car was on fire....i was like ehh thats gonna suck so i took the long way around....

then i heard this....that is my moms commute....used to be mine before i finally moved to the south bay ...

i hope that most people who make this commute REMEMBER what it was like when the Nimitz fell in 89..everyone dealt with it and there are alternate routes...yeah it took a long a$$ time to fix it....but we made due and the bay area can handle this.....get over it already hahaha. i cant believe this is national news.

 

For the commuters: The damaged portion of E-580 will be opening up tomorrow. That was quick. I still prefer BART.

 

little under a month... not bad at all...

 

Pretty impresive actually. Impressive enough that the contractor got a 5M bonus on top of their $867,000 bid for finishing so early.

 

5M??? Damn! But do the individual contractors actually get to touch that 5M? Or the company keeps it?

 

The company was promised something like $200k/day they finished before a certain date. So their bid was extremely low and they just bet on the idea of finishing early to get the money that a normal bid would be.

 

the contract tops out to $5 million bonus...

on the grand scheme of things... that aint bad.

too bad the driver and company that cause it, isnt financially responsible...

 

Oh I'm sure there insurance company will end up paying something.

 

News said it has just reopened.

 

also saw the news where some engineers are questioning the safety of the freeway... hope things are okay for the daily commuters...
