Construction crews moved nearly 7,000 tons of steel at the Bay Bridge construction site on Yerba Buena Island over Labor Day weekend in September 2009. The job called for realigning the path of the old East Span by removing a massive double-deck piece of the bridge, and sliding in the last link to a detour. The bypass operation cleared the way for the new East Span to complete its march toward the Yerba Buena Island tunnel over the next four years.
