the man was led away in cuffs, just after 4:00 p.m. that was almost 12 hours after he reportedly threw coffee on a truck operator and pointed a gun at the man. the suspect went back into the restaurant and sat down at a booth. to developing news. two major stories that have dominated headlines this week. on wednesday, a crew hit an underground gas pipeline in san francisco which led to a fire that burned for more than two hours. and just yesterday, falling chunks of concrete triggered a shutdown of the richmond-san rafael bridge for hours. now, let's take a live look at the bridge where all lanes are currently open. you can see the cars flowing. there drivers yesterday were frustrated as the chp repeatedly closed and then opened lanes back up. caltrans also worked to ensure the bridge was safe after chunks of concrete fell on to a car. today, the commute returned to normal for thousands of people who depend on the richmond-san rafael bridge. caltrans says there are no plans to close lanes on the bridge over the weekend. and the agency believes it's safe for drivers. >> the bridge is safe. it's structurally sound.

and we don't see any issues with it. >> caltrans has installed metal plates over the expansion joint where the concrete fell yesterday. engineers and a contractor are developing a plan to permanently fix that same area. now, the abc 7 news i-team was first yesterday to report the cause of the falling concrete, an expansion joint, worn i do by heavy traffic. >> and today, officials who oversee the bridge confirmed our account and revealed plans to address those problems. >> dan is here now with more on the story. dan, you're on this from the beginning. >> and the falling concrete and that massive traffic jam have officials who oversee the bridge talking about replacing it. concrete falling off the richmond-san rafael bridge has been a problem over the years. but it never caused a traffic jam as bad as yesterday. before thursday's car-mageddon, caltrans identiied several expansion joints on the bridge that needed remare, not the one on the upper deck that caught them by surprise. >> the joints like the gutters

on your house are really important but hard to maintain. >> a civil engineer for the transportation commission told a board meeting today the issue was simple, cars and trucks bumping over the expansion joint. >> it is concrete and steel. they'll replace the joint and upgrade it a little bit because there is more modern joints than were developed in the '50s, but all of that is pretty simple and done off-hours over the course of several weeks or more, depending what kind of material they use to replace the joint. >> county supervisors from either end of the bridge tell me they're pushing caltrans to step up inspections of the entire span. >> they're inspecting it. from one end to the other. to make sure that what happened here, and how do we prevent it, in the future. >> during the course of yesterday, today, over the d, d continuing to examine the bridge, and also do the repairs. >> caltrans says the bridge is structurally safe.

but they have to keep the concrete from what they call spalling, or flaking off. another complicating factor, the original concrete on the top deck is lighter, less sturdy, not up to today's standards. the mtc's legislative affairs director tells me, when the bridge was built in the '50s, they cut corner, even ignoring design plans to use less steel. >> you can see the bridge has that weird hump to it. the idea was to save money by having less steel in the bridge, that's why that hump was there, it was not a design feature, so there are all of these indications of this bridge probably not being built to the standard it needed to be built back am those days. >> there is a consensus every single official i talked to today said we need a new bridge there. that is the idea. but funding is years away. so crewsdo tir bes keep track of the problems and patch the bridge when it needs it. so ongoing problems at this bridge in the future. >> it is old, isn't it? >> it is. a man in a mercedes was the unlucky one yesterday, the first car to be hit by falling concrete while crossing the

bridge. wayne freeman tracked him down today and is live now with the drivers story. wayne? >> reporter: good evening, dan. he was actually going in the other direction at the time, in the lower deck. he was on his way to the airport. he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but it could have been a worst place at a worst time and the only difference, a few inches and split seconds. >> it used to be a really nice car. still is. except for unwanted customization. >> it is a rock falling from above. >> graham edwards of sonoma, you would have never heard about him, had he not been driving this route on the richmond bridge yesterday. >> how much time did you have? >> none. >> that was an instant before this concrete crashed down on his car from the upper aay ote . there was a fair amount of it falling down, yes. >> graham may be the onluring t longest of days for commuters.

lucky, because that concrete did not crash through the windshield. his wife sara was not in the passenger seat. >> and if you can imagine what that did to the bumper and the car, that would have done to my face. >> it it could happen to me, it could happen to anybody. >> paperwork happened today. filling out forms and sending a claim to the state, that is the difference between asking a person what happened, and doing his obituary. >> do you trust that bridge again? >> i do not. >> will you drive that bridge right now? >> if i can avoid it, i will avoid it at all costs. >> graham edwards is actually a pretty funny guy when you talk to him in person. he also said he's a very lucky guy. he said it is better to be lucky than good. how lucky does he feel? on his way back yesterday, in the mix of that traffic jam, he pulled off and bought himself a lottery ticket. his first lottery ticket ever. and it was a quick pick. on the richmond bridge toll plaza, abc 7 news. >> lucky in a lot of respects.

good evening. the raiders just might end up playing the 2019 season in oakland as we first reported on abc 7 news at 4:00, the silver and black had begun talks with returning to the coliseum. sources tell abc 7 news, these are the first conversations between these two sides since the city of oakland filed that anti-trust lawsuit against the raiders and the nfl, back in december. now it had been reported earlier this week the raiders had reached a deal to play at oracle park in san francisco, home of the giants. but those talks are basically dead at this point. and owner mark davis, he doesn't want to play at the niners home, levi stadium. finishing up one final season in oakland. it is really the only thing that makes sense for the raiders. for their loyal fans as well. before the move to las vegas. the warriors, they're in phoenix tonight, playing the suns, trying to get the focus back on the court after kevin durant went off on the media wednesday night. steph curry keeping it light outside with a shoot-around with the arizona state women's lacrosse team. let's see steph's lacrosse

skills. he's got some moves. that made their day by the way. as for the kd drama, the coach keeping it in perspective. >> we all have moments of frustration, times in our life where we don't feel like talking, frustrated about something, so you know, i think you give him a pass, we are all actors in a soap opera, we really are, and so we have to deal with that part of it. >> i would like to be an actor in a soap opera actually. warriors and suns tonight. steph working on the corner threes. suns are the worst team in the west. so this, and the resting devon booker, but they still have rookie andre, with 12 points in the first quarter. michael bridges, wide open. three ball. it was 26-9, phoenix, at one point. and they're terrible. today, clay thomas's 29th birthday. happy birthday, clay. 11-0 run here and now down by

only three. 37-34 in the second quarter. giants will hold fan fest tomorrow at oracle park. if you go, you probably have to dodge the raindrops but no dodging questions today. new general manager met with the media, he was asked about the giants pursuit of star free agent outfielder bryce harper. >> well, it's kind of hard to deny it when your ceo gets made in the casino. >> i can't tell you what is going to happen. but i enjoyed the meeting with him. and now, we'll wait and see what happens here. >> he's a team changer. so it would definitely be nice to have him. he is one of the best players in the game. so to be able to have him on your team would definitely be a boost. >> i always wear a disguise in the bellagio. look at. that pebble beach. round two. rain kicked in late. shot of the day. at pebble. tony romo's tee shot went to the v.i.p. area. this is his second. and he almost knocked it in for,

that would have been an eagle. we tap in for birdie. jordan spieth only got 16 holes at spy glass. the final putt of the day, perfectly for birdie. five under on the round. ten under overall. and tied for the lead with scott langley. and four under 68 for phil mickelson. we will see what happens in round three. weather permitting. >> that's the question. >> thanks, larry. join us tonight at 9:00 on coffee tv 20. cable channel 713. coming up, big problems at yosemite. how the snow damaged or destroyed dozens of structures there. that's at 9:00. >> and on abc 7 news at 11:00, looking at ways to build a better bay area. bart will begin testing a much-delayed extension to the south bay. what that means for a potential opening date. finally tonight, a few thoughts about what really matters. what happened on the richmond-san rafael bridge yesterday is a little like the butterfly effect. you know the theory. a butterfly flaps its wings in

new mexico, ultimately causing a hurricane in china. chunks of concrete may be the size of footballs, raining down on the richmond-san rafael, hitting one car. but the butterfly effect in this case, one car hit, tens of thousands of others affected all over the bay area. the gridlock was staggering. you saw the pictures we shared with you. not just on that span, but on the bay bridge. on surface streets. in the city. 101 through marin. highway 37 in wine country as well. it was a huge mess that lasted for hours and hours. it also highlights a problem you hear politicians talk a lot about. the country's aging infrastructure. the rifrpz is old, built i andhe brie, iis ads once again.we luc out getti bay bridge built before a mayor quake. we may not be so lucky next

time. so what really matters is to act like it is an emergency before it really is one. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on twitter and facebook, @dan ashley abc 7. >> look for breaking news any time on the abc 7 news app. >> for spencer christian, larry, all of us here, we appreciate your time. we will see you again at 9:00 and 11:00.
