in place. that's kind of where we're focused this morning. that that is where things will get busy. drivers this morning will get a front row seat. i will show you video we shot an hour and a half ago. the barge we are looking at is critical. there are five sections to the self-anchored spans single 525- foot tall tower. the first of the sections went into place in july. the second set goes in this morning and over the next few days. that second set consists of four sections. the barge this morning took over the first of the sections. 107 feet tall. 617 pounds or 1.2 million pounds. it does take to lift bolts. >> these sections are being listed over 300 feet -- these sections are being lifted 300 feet in the air. and translated -- it means they move in position, lift them 300

feet in the air. translates it to where it needs to be and set down. the team goes on the inside and bolts it together. we continue that process for all four leg sections. >> back live out here on treasure island. you can see the construction area is well it will. if you cross the bridge you will not see much more than that. the problem is over the next hour or so when they start tilting that section up it is going to be right at the eye level of drivers. curiosity can be dangerous if you're behind the wheel and driving across this bridge. it can cause back ups. caltran is askingdrivers to be aware this will be happening and keep your eyes on the road even though you want to take look at the activity going on. when will this start effecting traffic? they told us last week that it would be around 7:00 thousands morning. over the next half hour. a couple of hours or so we'll have to monitor things to see

average police officer which costs an average of $180,000 a year. that would be five more police officers. we have to make that choice. >> if our special operations officers needed to come to the police department first to pick up their vehicles you can see where the response time would be increase the in essence creating a bigger problem. >> the city audit identified 90 police vehicles that should not be taken home. other criticismed raised some of the police and fire vehicles taken home go as far away as medesto. a new report shows while san francisco schools struggle with a dwindling budget. the city school board has increased the budgets for the past four years. the chronicle reports the board spent more than $492,000 last year including $22,000 for catered meals and $7300 for conference in portland. the report concludes that it's not aa lot of money given the
