   Would you prefer they never maintain or repair the bridge?
   Maybe the traffic delays after a section of bridge falls into the bay wouldn’t be nearly as bad as the delays today.
   As someone who crosses the bridge daily, and who was delayed 1.5 hours today, I’m glad they maintain, inspect and repair both spans on a regular basis.

   Well Johta, it did almost fall into the bay because of repairs. The company the state hired to work on the bridge has screwed up numerous times.

   All to keep some paint chips out of the water, WOW
