    Ceremony honors Alfred Zampa, builder of bridges By Carl Nolte
    It was a great day for the working stiff Saturday when the state opened the newest bridge in the world -- and the first one named for a blue-collar worker.

    Pedestrians in their thousands walked across the Alfred J. Zampa bridge, the handsome westernmost span of the Carquinez Bridge complex. Some wore hardhats and some had baseball caps with their union affiliation -- ironworkers, carpenters, pile driver operators.
