FBI probes Bay Bridge welding By Sean Holstege and Jill Tucker, Oakland Tribune
Workers' allegations raise questions about safety of new construction
The new Bay Bridge is riddled with defective welds, 15 welders told the Oakland Tribune in a nine-month investigation - allegations that could lead to criminal fraud charges.
The welders' claims have prompted an FBI investigation. In the worst case, the federal probe could lead to tearing apart the new bridge to see if it is structurally sound or needs to be rebuilt.
The FBI began investigating allegations in February that welders were 'encouraged or instructed to save time by producing substandard welds,' said FBI Special Agent in Charge Mark Mershon of the bureau's San Francisco division.------------------------------------------- posted 12:58 PM :: reference link ::
