now, earlier this month, engineers announced their plan to fix the safety problems and concerns created after 32 bolts were tightened and broke back in march. what's going to happen starting today is that large steel saddles are gonna be put over two seismic safety devices. it's still unclear how long that fix is going to take. if it's all gonna be finished in time for the scheduled labor day opening. in the meantime, a lot of questions on how we got here. earlier this week, caltrans released some documents to give us a better idea on the pathway here and these documents focus on e-mails between the bolt supplier dyoson and the bridge designer. corrosion, not a new issue. engineers will tell you this. so the question is how much discussion came up over these rods. well, it appears part of the argument made pack in 2003 was that these types of rods, the ones that did break, are the same types of rods used on the

richmond bridge. there's 272 of them on the richmond bridge. however, it's important to note the tension is different. the tension on the new bridge, seven times greater than what was applied to the rods on the richmond san rafael bridge. it was during the this process that the bolts broke. but again, back to what's happening today, and we take a look at the span, a beautiful shot we have for you this morning, the work on the solution, that's the first step while we look back. engineers say it's also very important to move ahead. you can't do that unless you fix the safety problems and they believe that the saddle -- the two saddles they will put over the seismic safety devices are the answer. live here in on treasure island, claudine wong, ktvu channel 2 news. the chp is trying to find witnesses to a very bad accident in the east bay yesterday morning. a metal rod smashed through the windshield of a car and killed the driver. it happened on westbound 580 near grant line road between livermore and tracy. now, that car crashed into the center divider.
