1. Yikes!

After all these years I still hate driving the center lane in either direction. It is quite a narrow squeeze already, then add cars whizzing towards you at 60+ mph and things can go very bad, very fast. Hope everyone is OK.

2. Me too

Hated driving across it at night with fog slicked surface.

Thank God for the ferries....

3. The evening commute is going to be a nightmare.

I hope the GG system adds ferries as substitutes for the over the bridge buses.
I'm also VERY glad that I won't be in the traffic on the 80s in Oakland/Berkeley.

Traffic will be a nightmare.

I'm surprised it doesn't happen every day.

7. It's a beautiful bridge, artfully conceived and engineered. But dangerously

too narrow for todays traffic load.

8. Golden Gate Bridge, memories - driving a Volkswagen "thing" back to San Diego in '79

Flew up to San Francisco with a girl named Barbara

Bought the "Thing" and drove back.

As we crossed the GG bridge she started doing something to me she said I would never forget.

She was right.
