I guess you’re right technically. But you would need to be a local to understand that.
There is a Bay Bridge, a GoldenGate Bridge, a San Mateo Bridge, a San Rafael Bridge a Dumbarton Bridge and a Martinez Bridge, et al.
Why would the article say “a major bridge connecting Oakland and San Francisco”, and not name the bridge? I still think it’s shoddy reporting.
Yeah they should have said “the” major bridge.
To me, there's no think about it -- It's shoddy reporting not to have identified which bridge was involved.
