The demolition of the 1927 Carquinez Bridge is under way, and by mid-February crews may be ready to lower a third of the pioneering span onto barges, a Caltrans official said Wednesday.
The bridge, the oldest of the Bay Area's major spans, will be given a proper retirement ceremony around the same time, said Caltrans spokesman Bob Haus. "
