In this morning's San Francisco Chronicle, there was an article about the construction of the new Bay Bridge. I quote, "...the first steel deck pieces of the Bay Bridge's new eastern suspension span passed beneath the 73-year-old western span, ending a 22-day journey from Shanghai aboard the Zhen Hua. Delivery of the deck pieces was delayed for about 15 months by troubles with welding, drawings and other parts of the steel fabrication process. Caltrans officials say those problems, including inadequate welds, have been corrected, but the delays threaten to push the eastern span past its scheduled opening..."

So the bridge will be delayed and over budget...American steel workers were unemployed, and they think they saved some money. Aren't you glad our Power Wagons weren't made in China?
