Another major part of the new Bay Bridge tower starting going up on Wednesday. According to San Jose Mercury News, "Crews on Wednesday began hoisting the giant steel pieces that will make up the third of the 535-foot tower's four legs" Ideally, the work will be done by Sunday. Fingers crossed.

"We're going to be lifting 4 million pounds of steel 400 feet above the water, and putting it in place, before Christmas," Caltrans spokesman Bart Ney explains to The Chronicle.

Ney also urges drivers commuting on the bridge to "keep their eyes on the road and avoid looking over as the tower comes together." Yeah. Eyes on the road, folks.
