Cars were bumper to bumper at the toll plaza early and the speed across the bridge was about 40 mph, the CHP said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>KQED's Dan Brekke gave this report from earlier in the commute, around 7 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>For whatever reason, the commute down the Eastshore Freeway through Berkeley seemed to get heavy and slow earlier than usual this morning. It could have been a surge of people returning to work after Labor Day. Or maybe it was a deliberate slowdown in the pace of the metering lights at the Bay Bridge Toll Plaza to feed traffic onto the new span more deliberately than usual. Or perhaps something unknown. Or all of the above.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I caught a ride in the casual carpool from North Berkeley with a Prius driver who is very … deliberate. Traffic looked terrible from the University Avenue overpass and was backed up on the entrance ramp. But she worked her way over to the carpool lane toward the bridge without much of a problem, and from there we cruised — first slowly, then almost at the speed limit — all the way on to the bridge. Traffic on the span itself seemed lighter and calmer than usual with little of the jockeying and lane changing you expect in the morning commute. Then, as the new bridge’s suspension tower came into view, everyone seemed to slow down to take in the sight. Even though the California Highway Patrol has been warning people not to use the new right-hand shoulder unless they have an emergency, I saw one driver parked there, apparently enjoying a stop-and-gawk moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After that, the bridge returned to normal as we passed through the cleaned-up Yerba Buena tunnel. Having gotten their first look at the new bridge, most drivers seemed to step on it as they emerged onto the western suspension span.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.contracostatimes.com/news/ci_24002703/first-morning-commute-new-bay-bridge-span-underway\" target=\"_blank\">Contra Costa Times reports\u003c/a> that the CHP said one driver already had been arrested for DUI in the wee hours, near the toll plaza, and \"another driver was caught stopped on the old eastern section of the bridge taking photographs, (CHP Officer Sam) Morgan said.

It could have been a surge of people returning to work after Labor Day. Or maybe it was a deliberate slowdown in the pace of the metering lights at the Bay Bridge Toll Plaza to feed traffic onto the new span more deliberately than usual. Or perhaps something unknown. Or all of the above.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I caught a ride in the casual carpool from North Berkeley with a Prius driver who is very … deliberate. Traffic looked terrible from the University Avenue overpass and was backed up on the entrance ramp. But she worked her way over to the carpool lane toward the bridge without much of a problem, and from there we cruised — first slowly, then almost at the speed limit — all the way on to the bridge. Traffic on the span itself seemed lighter and calmer than usual with little of the jockeying and lane changing you expect in the morning commute. Then, as the new bridge’s suspension tower came into view, everyone seemed to slow down to take in the sight. Even though the California Highway Patrol has been warning people not to use the new right-hand shoulder unless they have an emergency, I saw one driver parked there, apparently enjoying a stop-and-gawk moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After that, the bridge returned to normal as we passed through the cleaned-up Yerba Buena tunnel.

Why so? Any European alive before the 19th century would never have missed the connection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That the omen went unrecognized by the people preparing to open the bridge on September 3 is testimony to our loss of cultural memory, but the Devil is always in the details, and it is never too late to make amends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fear of bridges failing on or near their inauguration has a rich and varied history, certainly in Europe, but also in the United States. Think of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse on November 7, 1940 a few months after that bridge was completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tacoma Narrows Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time it was designed by Leon Moisseiff. The design was flawed, the bridge was too flexible, and that proved fatal. When battered by high winds, it developed an escalating vibration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What happened next was captured by at least two cameras. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xox9BVSu7Ok\">film\u003c/a> showing the undulating bridge as it collapses was shown in classrooms for decades. Naturally, you can see a dozen re-packaged versions on YouTube. It’s a haunting \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-zczJXSxnw\">video\u003c/a>. The only casualty was a dog trapped in a car abandoned by its driver.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To this day, the sight of a black dog hovering around the famous medieval bridge in Regensburg, Germany, at night provokes raised eyebrows among savvy locals who recognize the Devil in his canine disguise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_109544\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/09/01/bay-bridge-update/dog-saved-in-bay/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-109544\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-109544\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/dog-saved-in-bay.jpg\" alt=\"The group of windsurfers who found this dog swimming in the bay on Aug. 12(Courtesy of Adam Cohen) \" width=\"640\" height=\"466\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The group of windsurfers who found this dog swimming in the bay on Aug. 12(Courtesy of Adam Cohen)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But contrary to what you might believe from recent stories about superstitions connected to black animals, the devil’s presence around the bridge is not a portent of disaster. On the contrary, the hapless black dog of Regensburg’s bridge is the consequence of a success story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regensburg’s old stone bridge, built between 1135 and 1146, was the first to link northern and southern Europe, and for hundreds of years the only way to cross the Danube without a boat or ferry. It has been standing for close to a millennium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bridge is linked to the black dog through a beautiful legend, the origins of which go back to the time of its construction. The bridge’s architect, it is said, was in competition with the builder of Regensburg’s famous medieval Dom to see who would finish first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he saw that the cathedral was nearly finished and the bridge was nowhere near completion, the bridge builder made a pact with the Devil to help speed up his work. The deal they struck gave the Devil the souls of the first eight feet to cross the bridge. Not bad, thought the Devil, a harvest of four human souls in exchange for some minor technical wizardry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the Devil’s help, the bridge was indeed finished first, whereupon the cathedral’s architect threw himself from the Dom’s spire in despair. His suicide is thought to explain the image of a falling man depicted on the cathedral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only did the wily bridge builder win his wager with the cathedral’s architect, when it came time to inaugurate the bridge (listen up, Caltrans) he tricked the Devil by sending a hen, a rooster, and a dog across the bridge before any human crossed. There were the first eight feet to cross the new bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outsmarted by a human, the Devil was forever stuck with the souls of these three beasts, but there was nothing he could do about it. This is believed to be why that black dog has been seen skulking around the old stone bridge in Regensburg ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The association of a black dog with the Devil was immortalized in dramatic literature by\u003cbr>\nGoethe in Faust, where Mephistopheles (the Devil) first appears to Faust as a poodle\u003cbr>\nbefore revealing his true identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The link between bridges and the Devil is far more widespread than the Regensburg legend. A Wikipedia \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Bridge\">search\u003c/a> reveals hundreds of devil’s bridges, \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Bridge#France\">49 in France\u003c/a> alone. Many of them are some of the oldest and most beautiful bridges in Europe. Why these bridges are tied to stories involving demonic forces in folklore, and why the legends are so similar, is not difficult to understand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A man-made bridge is not natural; it defeats the force of gravity, connecting two places that nature, or God, have separated. That act of defiance is made possible by technologicaldexterity, and in folklore all such acts are related to wizardry, magic, the invocation of supernatural forces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In myth, the technologically daring are punished for their efforts at experimentation (think of Icarus and Prometheus). Building bridges over precipitous gorges and wide bodies of water is a dangerous business, and in folklore can only be accomplished if some supernatural power is involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enter the Devil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking into the Devil’s bridge stories provides some insight into humanity’s\u003cbr>\nlongstanding love/hate relationship with technological progress and scientific innovation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bridges are not only actual paths and connections; they are also metaphorical links\u003cbr>\nbetween two different points, or even phases of life. We are more vulnerable in transition\u003cbr>\nthan on \u003cem>terra firma\u003c/em>. Science and technology are paths to the new and unfamiliar, often\u003cbr>\ninvolving counter-intuitive ideas and processes. Engineers practice a kind of wizardry\u003cbr>\nfew others can fathom. In folklore, how can their unnatural and dangerous enterprises\u003cbr>\nsucceed without demonic assistance?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a charming legend among the Wampanoag people of Martha’s Vineyard that\u003cbr>\nreveals what happens when the Devil backs out of a bridge-building deal. The giant\u003cbr>\nMaushup, who lived on Martha’s Vineyard alone, decided to build a bridge to the\u003cbr>\nmainland. He started by throwing some giant boulders off the cliff at Gayhead into the\u003cbr>\nsea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to one version of the story, he was bitten on the toe by a crab and stopped\u003cbr>\nbuilding the bridge. Another version, told to anthropologist William Simmons of Brown\u003cbr>\nUniversity, has Maushup losing a fight with the Devil. As a result, there is no bridge\u003cbr>\nbetween the Vineyard and the mainland, and all that’s left of Moshup’s project are the\u003cbr>\nboulders in the sea called Devil’s Bridge. It is a treacherous piece of water notorious for\u003cbr>\nshipwrecks caused by collisions with the underwater rocks of Maushop’s unfinished\u003cbr>\nbridge to Cuttyhunk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of this is meant to shed light on the troubled history of the new eastern span of the\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. The 24-year project is being delivered ten years late\u003cbr>\ndue to a series of mishaps that should have alerted Caltrans officials to seek some kind of\u003cbr>\ndiabolic bargain years ago. The recent bad bolts fiasco, as yet unresolved, was preceded\u003cbr>\nby an unbelievable chain of political wrangling that was partially \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vph7egU1gf4\">documented\u003c/a> in David\u003cbr>\nBrown’s 2011 documentary film \u003ca href=\"http://www.thebridgesofar.com/\">The Bridge So Far\u003c/a>. And that was preceded by the battle\u003cbr>\nof designs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whoever is in charge, CalTrans, Governor Brown, please read up on your folklore. At the\u003cbr>\nvery least, get that young lab rescued from the bay in mid-August, and let it be the first to\u003cbr>\ncross our new bridge. It’s the cheapest bridge insurance policy you’ll ever buy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>George Csicery is an Oakland-based writer and \u003ca href=\"http://www.zalafilms.com/\">documentary film producer\u003c/a> who was born in Regensburg, Germany.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The design was flawed, the bridge was too flexible, and that proved fatal. When battered by high winds, it developed an escalating vibration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What happened next was captured by at least two cameras. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xox9BVSu7Ok\">film\u003c/a> showing the undulating bridge as it collapses was shown in classrooms for decades.

On the contrary, the hapless black dog of Regensburg’s bridge is the consequence of a success story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regensburg’s old stone bridge, built between 1135 and 1146, was the first to link northern and southern Europe, and for hundreds of years the only way to cross the Danube without a boat or ferry. It has been standing for close to a millennium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bridge is linked to the black dog through a beautiful legend, the origins of which go back to the time of its construction. The bridge’s architect, it is said, was in competition with the builder of Regensburg’s famous medieval Dom to see who would finish first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he saw that the cathedral was nearly finished and the bridge was nowhere near completion, the bridge builder made a pact with the Devil to help speed up his work. The deal they struck gave the Devil the souls of the first eight feet to cross the bridge. Not bad, thought the Devil, a harvest of four human souls in exchange for some minor technical wizardry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the Devil’s help, the bridge was indeed finished first, whereupon the cathedral’s architect threw himself from the Dom’s spire in despair. His suicide is thought to explain the image of a falling man depicted on the cathedral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only did the wily bridge builder win his wager with the cathedral’s architect, when it came time to inaugurate the bridge (listen up, Caltrans) he tricked the Devil by sending a hen, a rooster, and a dog across the bridge before any human crossed. There were the first eight feet to cross the new bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outsmarted by a human, the Devil was forever stuck with the souls of these three beasts, but there was nothing he could do about it. This is believed to be why that black dog has been seen skulking around the old stone bridge in Regensburg ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The association of a black dog with the Devil was immortalized in dramatic literature by\u003cbr>\nGoethe in Faust, where Mephistopheles (the Devil) first appears to Faust as a poodle\u003cbr>\nbefore revealing his true identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The link between bridges and the Devil is far more widespread than the Regensburg legend. A Wikipedia \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Bridge\">search\u003c/a> reveals hundreds of devil’s bridges, \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Bridge#France\">49 in France\u003c/a> alone. Many of them are some of the oldest and most beautiful bridges in Europe. Why these bridges are tied to stories involving demonic forces in folklore, and why the legends are so similar, is not difficult to understand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A man-made bridge is not natural; it defeats the force of gravity, connecting two places that nature, or God, have separated. That act of defiance is made possible by technologicaldexterity, and in folklore all such acts are related to wizardry, magic, the invocation of supernatural forces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In myth, the technologically daring are punished for their efforts at experimentation (think of Icarus and Prometheus). Building bridges over precipitous gorges and wide bodies of water is a dangerous business, and in folklore can only be accomplished if some supernatural power is involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enter the Devil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking into the Devil’s bridge stories provides some insight into humanity’s\u003cbr>\nlongstanding love/hate relationship with technological progress and scientific innovation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bridges are not only actual paths and connections; they are also metaphorical links\u003cbr>\nbetween two different points, or even phases of life. We are more vulnerable in transition\u003cbr>\nthan on \u003cem>terra firma\u003c/em>. Science and technology are paths to the new and unfamiliar, often\u003cbr>\ninvolving counter-intuitive ideas and processes. Engineers practice a kind of wizardry\u003cbr>\nfew others can fathom. In folklore, how can their unnatural and dangerous enterprises\u003cbr>\nsucceed without demonic assistance?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a charming legend among the Wampanoag people of Martha’s Vineyard that\u003cbr>\nreveals what happens when the Devil backs out of a bridge-building deal. The giant\u003cbr>\nMaushup, who lived on Martha’s Vineyard alone, decided to build a bridge to the\u003cbr>\nmainland. He started by throwing some giant boulders off the cliff at Gayhead into the\u003cbr>\nsea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to one version of the story, he was bitten on the toe by a crab and stopped\u003cbr>\nbuilding the bridge. Another version, told to anthropologist William Simmons of Brown\u003cbr>\nUniversity, has Maushup losing a fight with the Devil. As a result, there is no bridge\u003cbr>\nbetween the Vineyard and the mainland, and all that’s left of Moshup’s project are the\u003cbr>\nboulders in the sea called Devil’s Bridge. It is a treacherous piece of water notorious for\u003cbr>\nshipwrecks caused by collisions with the underwater rocks of Maushop’s unfinished\u003cbr>\nbridge to Cuttyhunk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of this is meant to shed light on the troubled history of the new eastern span of the\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. The 24-year project is being delivered ten years late\u003cbr>\ndue to a series of mishaps that should have alerted Caltrans officials to seek some kind of\u003cbr>\ndiabolic bargain years ago. The recent bad bolts fiasco, as yet unresolved, was preceded\u003cbr>\nby an unbelievable chain of political wrangling that was partially \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vph7egU1gf4\">documented\u003c/a> in David\u003cbr>\nBrown’s 2011 documentary film \u003ca href=\"http://www.thebridgesofar.com/\">The Bridge So Far\u003c/a>. And that was preceded by the battle\u003cbr>\nof designs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whoever is in charge, CalTrans, Governor Brown, please read up on your folklore. At the\u003cbr>\nvery least, get that young lab rescued from the bay in mid-August, and let it be the first to\u003cbr>\ncross our new bridge. It’s the cheapest bridge insurance policy you’ll ever buy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You can also get a short-term membership for $22 for three days, or $9 for 24 hours, with a credit or debit card. Members can take unlimited rides of up to 30 minutes; overtime fees range from $4 to $7 and max out at $150 a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ed Reiskin, director of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, told the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Bay-Area-Bike-Share-program-about-to-begin-4769703.php\">San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a> that this is not exactly a bike rental service. “It’s sort of the difference between car sharing and car rental.

The bridge is closing.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hopefully by now you’ve heard the news that the Bay Bridge is closing tonight (Wednesday, Aug. 28) at 8 p.m., and is scheduled to remain closed until next Tuesday morning, Sept. 3, at 5 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you need to get to San Francisco International Airport at 2 a.m. Friday from Berkeley, you’re in luck, because BART is running hourly all-night service until Monday night at 14 stations. However, if you face the same challenge after midnight Monday you need to start looking at alternatives, since BART needs to shut down that night for inspections. (It will reopen at 4 a.m. Tuesday.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost every transit system in the Bay Area is chipping in to help get you from here to there with extra ferries, buses and trains. But if you’re driving, get ready for some serious gridlock. For example, Golden Gate Transit says to expect at least a one-hour delay crossing the bridge between Marin County and the city’s northern point.

But the journey to today’s Bay Bridge span has been plagued by problems and doubts. The most recent set of concerns came in March 2013 when Caltrans officials revealed that several \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/03/27/bay-bridge-bolts-snap-repairs-could-cost-up-to-5-million/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">giant bolts\u003c/a> that attach the bridge deck to earthquake shock absorbers had broken. In mid-August the Toll Bridge Program Oversight Committee unanimously approved a decision to open the new span, after earlier approving a temporary retrofit for the broken-bolt problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the temporary retrofit, workers are installing steel plates in the area of the broken bolts to help prevent movement during an earthquake. There’s also a permanent fix that is to be finished by mid-December, as workers are building a steel saddle to replace the clinching function of the failed bolts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four independent groups have verified the plan, including the Seismic Safety Peer Review Panel, the Federal Highway Administration and two engineering firms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has taken too long.

But the journey to today’s Bay Bridge span has been plagued by problems and doubts. The most recent set of concerns came in March 2013 when Caltrans officials revealed that several \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/03/27/bay-bridge-bolts-snap-repairs-could-cost-up-to-5-million/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">giant bolts\u003c/a> that attach the bridge deck to earthquake shock absorbers had broken. In mid-August the Toll Bridge Program Oversight Committee unanimously approved a decision to open the new span, after earlier approving a temporary retrofit for the broken-bolt problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the temporary retrofit, workers are installing steel plates in the area of the broken bolts to help prevent movement during an earthquake. There’s also a permanent fix that is to be finished by mid-December, as workers are building a steel saddle to replace the clinching function of the failed bolts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four independent groups have verified the plan, including the Seismic Safety Peer Review Panel, the Federal Highway Administration and two engineering firms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has taken too long.
