Too late for Monday morning's commute, the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge has re-opened. The bridge had been closed since last Tuesday afternoon when a 5,000-pound steel assembly and two steel tie rods plunging into traffic.

San Francisco Bay Area commuters received bad news on Sunday night. The San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge will remain closed at least through Monday morning's commute, with no definite time of opening given by authorities.

The San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge will remain closed into the weekend, as several setbacks occurred. The setbacks, according to live TV reports just shown in the Bay Area, include having to back out some of the repairs they have already made.

Commuters across the San Francisco Bay Area began to adjust to life without a San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge today, as the repair work hastily done over the Labor Day weekend snapped off late yesterday afternoon. This forced a total Bay Bridge closure; there is no announced ETA on a repair.

The San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge has been closed in both directions, after pieces of the cantilever section fell during the late-afternoon commute. The SF Chronicle reports that authorities said the pieces were two high-strength rods and a support saddle that were part of the emergency repair work done during Labor Day weekend.

Despite announcing that the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge would not open until Wednesday morning at 5 AM, 24 hours later than originally scheduled because of a crack in a support link found over the weekend, the Bay Bridge re-opened only hours later than the original time.

Authorities have given commuters a Bay Bridge update, and it is not good news. They announced that as a result of the crack found while replacing a section of the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge during seismic retrofittins, the bridge will not reopen on Tuesday as had been expected.

Despite the fact that these men had families and put their lives on the line every day, it has been reported that onlookers cheered the incident. Why, and why has mainstream media not picked up on this?

The fourth Oakland police officer, who had been listed in critical condition after Saturday's tragic shootings, has died, according to authorities.
