Bay Bridge East Span Bolt Updates
Commissioners of the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA) were briefed today on the effort to diagnose and repair steel rods — referred to as bolts — used in the construction of the new East Span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. The briefing took place at the regular monthly meeting of the BATA Oversight Committee. An update on the repair effort was provided by representatives of the Toll Bridge Program Oversight Committee (TBPOC), which is overseeing the East Span project and is made up of three agencies: BATA, the state Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
