Rob roth shows us the chaos with a cyprus freeway collapsed. From here we cannot tell the details of the damage but we can certainly tell the damage is very serious. Reporter it remains one of the most searing images of the loma prieta earthquake. The doubledecker and well used cyprus freeway in west oakland had collapsed in 15 seconds and 242 people in their cars and injuring hundreds more. Reporter the collapse would be all the way down to the roadway on one side, on the other side it would be up to 7 feet or at an angle.

That was where maybe some people have survived and some people havent. Reporter on this anniversary the city of oakland commemorated those whose lives ended here.

A lot has changed with then with stricter regulations and seismic upgrades to infrastructure. Including an improved portion of the bay bridge. Cristina rendon climbs up t new span of the bridge for a look at whats been done to keep drivers seat during the next big quake. This is the soundest earthquake bridge over bill. Reporter caltrans gave trent one and inside look taking a crew under the freeway. The bridge was designed to withstand the largest potential earthquake in 1500 years. To show you what he means we went through a bit of an obstacle course. Going down ladders and narrow hallways and through small openings in the steel. All to get to this transition point. Inch pipe beams play a crucial role. This is the hinge piping here in this part of the field is weaker than the steel on either side. That so it can bend and deform in an earthquake. It allows the bridge to move longitudinal like the way cars are traveling on the top right now. The bridge can expand and contract. When the original bay bridge field in 1989, there was only about four inches of movement accommodating that bridge. With these we can accommodate 6 feet of movement. Reporter the beams can be replaced after they are damaged. The same idea for the beams inside the tower. Those beams bend and deform. Keeping the tower strong and the bridge up and later caltrans can come in and replace those beams. Reporter for another close look we went up. Way up. The elevator was out so we started climbing hand and foot. Stopping on small platforms to rest. And we kept climbing through a vertical, aerospace scaling letter after letter inside one of the legs of the tower. We are about 300 feet off of the water right now. Its a significant decline. These are built to accept the Shocking Energy of the earthquake and the four legs operate independently making the bridge one of the safest places to be. , earthquake standpoint theres nothing more seismically seismically resilient. Reporter this engineering will one day be put to the test. The bay bridge sits between the San Andreas Fault and hayward fault and caltrans insist any past issues with the bridge are resolved. Tendons were replaced and anchorouts are in good order. In the bay area weve gone through a major retrofit. Where we replaced and retrofitted all the largescale bridges. In the event of a large earthquake which we know will come, we are ready. Reporter cristina rendon, ktvu fox 2 news. Sal is back watching the commute for this friday morning. How does it look so far . It looks pretty good. I put on my facebook page. I asked a simple question, where were you during the earthquake . If you want to read some good stories, go there. Maybe you can put yours on there. Going to go on there now and put my story there. Good. I want to see it. Good morning. Lets start with a look at the tracy commute first of all lets go to the bay bridge toll plaza because the toll plaza is light and so we can start there and traffic is moving along very nicely coming up to the pay gates crossing into oakland. 580, slow traffic at the 205 interchange for people coming in from tracy.

Warmer than average for the entire country except the Northern Plains which i find hard to believe. The last winter outlook for the temperatures was very wrong. Keep that in mind and of course on the precipitation outlook, this is december and january, look who is drier. Of course we are. Much higher than average. A lot of these simply do not pan out but we will see what moves forward but, again, i would not worry about these. Mild conditions today. 70s in pleasanton in campbell. Upper 60s and low 70s in mill valley, atherton, newark and albany. And 60s on the coast for most. Take a break, north beach and the city.

A lot of cloud cover to the north. We are on the southern end of these so partly cloudy to the north. If theres any rain its around fort bragg in north. 40s and 50s on the temperatures.
