Catherine client taking note that people arei am taking note of that the gloves what about the governor not being able to make it . Reporter gavin newson did it make it however, the governor was not going to make it but he wanted to be here. However he had prior engagements. Catherine it was that the only excuse . Yes. Catherine thank you, scott rates. Been on the right side of your screen you can see mira jean quan. And the cal trans workers on the orange vests however, it does not look that fog we can see a little bit of a clear it is almost nearly like herding cats. There is the human chain whit the chain and as we have mentioned eventually. They are going to cut the chain to mark the official opening of the eastern span of the bay bridge. It replaces the structure that was damaged during the 1989 earthquake. Designed to last at least 150 years and the seismologist pleexperts say that this will withstand one of the strongest earthquakes. Dan kerman is an aiwhat is going on, dam . Any indication on what time. Reporter we believe that this is going to happen any time. We are having some trouble but we will believe it when we see it. It is good that we are patient because this is going to be a momentous occasion. Can you tell us what is happening right now. We think that this could be any moment. It looks like many people will be taking a shot. Many people have been sitting and waiting with a procession of cars. This chained cutting ceremony is a tradition here. You can see that there is mayor ed lee giving him the thumbs up. Catherine you can see that many people will be glad to see this open. Reporter there is an indication that this should be happening soon. Catherine we will wait and see in the entire bridge with crews waiting. They did have some chance to do some cosmetic work on the eastern portion with painting, lights. That type of thing that weve taken them months with the traffic so they were able to do all of that. In just a couple of days. People are going to notice some of the obvious thing inside the tunnel, they used a power washer is going to be cleaned they are going to notice a beautiful bridge and they cleaned it, essentially. We have been checking in with scott rates what was it like now . Reporter everybody has gotten out of here they have gone across the highway to get ready for the chain cutting ceremony. That could start any time and this was about nearly 150200 people lt. Gov. Gavin newson, and the mayors were here. What is amazing piece of history this is to get this ready on time and not only that, but ahead of schedule. That is where everybody. That is where everybody is waiting and that is for everybody has been. And that is where i am. I am going to try to get a better view of what is going on. To get a better view for you of what is going on. Catherine just to clarify they are saying that they are opening tonight. But not exactly what time . Reporter they are being tight let mum is the word with tight lipped. This is a ceremonial process. To get everybody ready. And again they might not be quite sure on a time yet which is what they have not told us. Catherine again we are looking at mayor ed lee, lt. Governor, gavin newson and jean quan is also there. The mayor of oakland. We are waiting for the official change cutting. Chain it will be interesting to see when this will be ready for the common folk. And again if people have an Early Morning commute we did receive word that it should be ready tonight and there is perhaps the sentiment of the bay area just open it, all it looks like they are getting ready pete was that the original ceremony and now he is here and also Louis Frasier she was also part of the Opening Ceremony as ms. Agriculture she is 99 years old. Nearly 17 years ago, pete wilson made the decision that this portion should be replaced rather than retrofitted. He deserves a think you for that courageous act. Now, we are here today in 2013 with the lieutenant governor. In the absence, the chief executive if you have any thing to talk about the time that gov. Gavin newson [laughter] but now, i will ask you to do the honors. Thankyou, for all of the extraordinary men and women that made this possible. And also this extraordinary commitment for the bay area. And everybody in the entire bay area. Bridges are monuments. As i stand between the mayor ed lee, mayor jean quan i hope that this is more than just connecting land. I hope that the progress that we represent at this moment is for a generation. To make big dreams. It is with that that i would like to ask all of you to participate in a countdown. And be patient with me somebody suggested that i use my teeth but i will use these brave men and women and use it there advice and use gloves and even some losses. Together, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6,5,4,3,2,1, drumroll cheers applause cheers applause catherine they have finally done it you can see the lt. Governor, gavin newson and the chain has been cut.

We are still and pomp and circumstance, tonight with the wheels. Catherine yes you can see the motorcycle officers and some beautiful cars. Some of those are going back to 1936. They are carrying politicians and community leaders. People really jockeying for positions. But they wanted to make a splash the fact that this has been so long into making and billions of dollars. Millions of hours of work. Finally, after all of these years here is we are looking at this live procession. There is a lot of security of course as part of this ceremony. Certainly.

We are looking live this is just beyond the toll plaza if youre just joining us the public is not quite yet ready for the bridge but this is still part of the ceremony.
