The San Francisco Bay Bridge has reopened ahead of its revised schedule, but 2 hours behind its original schedule. The Bay Bridge was closed over Labor Day weekend in order for Caltrans to insert a detour around a section marked for replacement.

The Bay Bridge was inspected and approved, and the newly-discovered "significant crack" was repaired, much to the relief of the 280,000 drivers who cross the San Francisco Bay Bridge each day.
 

Commuters began driving over the bridge around 6:40 a.m. PT (9:40 a.m. ET), shortly after Randy Iwasaki, director of the California Department of Transportation, announced the reopening at a news conference.

I admit that I'm very surprised to see the Bay Bridge open on time- Now, if Caltrans wants to get on that section of Highway 101 just north of Corte Madera...
