The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge reopened Tuesday morning following a weekend of hastily crucial repairs that were completed a day ahead of schedule, the Associated Press reported.
The bridge shut down Thursday night after crews found a crack in the span. It was the first time the bridge was closed on a working day since the 1989 earthquake, AP said.
The bridge carries about 260,000 vehicles a day between San Francisco and Oakland, and the newly repaired section connects the bridge with a short detour that will be used until a new east span is completed by 2013, AP reported.
