Wasn’t the L/P earthquake in 1989 and the new Bay Bridge is still not finished?

It still isn’t finished.
My sons will be Grandparents before the new Bay Bridge gets finished. Their kids are 6 and 8 years old.
I believe that it took between 4 & 6 years to get the freeways abd ramps taken care of after the LP quake. It was a major journey to get to the Oakland Airport or SFO from the EBay or N Bay. The smart airlines started adding flights from Sac and San Jose.
It was so bad, that I told relatives and friends who flew out. If they landed at Oakland or SFO, instead of Sacramento, they had to rent a car or take limos to and from the airport to our house. A couple of these dear ones thought I was a real bastard until they rented cars and spent more time getting from these airports to our home than their cross country flights.
