really huge. they are called e-2 share key rods. what they do is you have the cable and then you have the roadway and then you have the pier that goes down into the water. the bolts are responsible for connecting all that together. it's good it's dark. the lights help us show you where this is happening. take a look at the tower you see the it will cable that stretches from that tower down to the deck. if you follow that all the way down as it comes down toward the eastern side of the span toward oakland, right where the lights hit the deck that is where they discovered this problem. what they did they had the bolts in place since 2008 but recently as we were approaching opening of this span, they started tightening them. when they tightened them they snapped. what they have figured out is that hydrogen is likely the problem. that the hydrogen got into the metal and that is causing them to be brittle. what is not clear is how extensive this problem is. i did talk to the mtc spokesperson. here's what he said about how big he sees the problem really is. >> but on a project of this size everything gets magnified. keep in mind these are bolts. the thing we all deal with every day but they are 17 feet long. everything on the bay bridge is magnified. and the size of these bolts is a great illustration of that. >> reporter: back live here. a live look at the bay bridge

marriage. many of the justices questioned whether or not the court should take up the issue. if >> i think it was parent and interesting that so many of the justices asked a lot of questions about

marriages would resume in california. we are not expecting to hear the supreme court until june. coming up at 6:45 we'll break down the numbers among supporters and opponents of prop 8. an

structure. as tolls will no longer be collected physically here at the bridge. >> bye everyone. >> reporter: now around midnight this morning the last human toll taker left her booth at a family room of applause. for the first time tolls across the bridge will be taking through prepaying at certain booths and gas stations and fast track transponders or scanners that will gather your license plate information and you will get a bill in the mail later. the golden gate bridge authority says it streamlines cost and traffic at the same time. thus eliminating the need for human toll takers before they left some commuters gave those toll takers gifts and said thunk. we also talked with a few as they left their post for the last time and say leaving is very emotional. >> we're all very close. so you know it's sad. >> people are what made this job what it is. a lot of kind people. and you know, i have my memories and nobody can take them away from me. >> about 28 toll taking positions were eliminated. i talked to a golden gate bridge authority there are eight positions that still needed to be regiven out to different people. signs are posted before you hit the bay bridge about to change. they expect a bit of confusion this first week. not only with the tolls but the speed limit going from to miles an hour to 25 miles an hour. that is a major concern right now is speed. not only are some people stopping at the toll booths wondering if they are going to pay but they are dealing with a range of speed as well. some are going over three miles over the speed limit which is 25 miles an hour. there are some that are going 60 miles an hour through the toll booths as well. but to keep in mind you need to keep moving through the toll booths this morning as you leave the golden gate bridge. we're live at the golden gate bridge i'm brian flores. >> yes. it's an adjustment which we will keep watching. and sal, you grew up here. did you ever figure this day would come? >> no, i
