12/02/2020 Verrazano Bridge Swaying Incident
A Aunt Marg SF VIP Dec 6, 2020 #2 OMG! I need to get out of the house more! LOL! I never realized this is what one can expect when encountering large bridges such as this. What a nail-biting drive over it would be.

Pepper SF VIP Location NYC Dec 6, 2020 #4 No, @hawkdon, the Verrazano never collapsed and was built like 1960. @FastTrax, there has been a ton of construction being done on the bridge for months. Now I know why, thanks!
