I will be curious to see how bad things get on the 92 and Golden Gate bridges …
Seems those webcams are not showing the construction site. They’re just the regular Caltrans traffic cams, one pointed at roadway on the very western end of the bridge and the other at the very eastern end of it. I’ve also found them to be quite unreliable, and in fact the one on the western end isn’t working now.
