Officials with the Transbay Joint Power Authority laid out plans for testing two cracks found in steel beams last week at San Francisco’s now-shuttered Salesforce Transit Center on Oct.3, indicating a cause for the cracks could be determined by early November.

During a meeting for the TJPA Board of Directors this morning, senior construction manager Dennis Turchon said the next steps involve installing temporary shoring along the closed part of Fremont Street in order to help take the load off of the cracked beams.
