This time water corroding the brings interior. Tom vacar spent the day deep inside the bridge to get a look. Its a story new at 5 00. The guardrails on the tower are through the deck so the guardrails wont fail if hit by a car. Though there has been some leaking that it appears that there is little or no damage to the structuralmetal. Thats because all the metal has been coated with zinc. They react with water forming a whitish powder. The zinc is doing its job. It is oxidizing, protecting the base metal, which is exactly what they are to do. The resident bay bridge engineer who says that they would know exactly where the leaks are coming from. Where the guardrails are bolded in to the roadway. You want to deal with it to make sure it doesnt continue. At this point in time i dont see any concerns here. One would come straight through the deck and that there is no leaking right here. But where they would come through and there is a little bit of the space up here that there is some leaking, but they could put something in there that will take care of that. To plug the leaks, the water proof metal would be flushed up against the roadway metal, which should then end those leaks. Probably a good six months to do all the work. Maybe a little bit longer that you want to keep as much water out as possible. If water does get in, you would get in to it and find their way out, designing all kinds of mechanisms and things like that to get it out. This is one of the drain holes on the other side of the bridge, designed in day one. Wherever the water would leak in that there are channels for them to go down to the drains.
