San Francisco’s newly opened Salesforce Transit Center will remain closed through next week as engineers continue to inspect a crack found on Sept. 25, in a steel beam, as well as a newly discovered crack on a parallel beam.

Workers installing ceiling panels discovered the first crack Tuesday morning on the third-level bus deck above Fremont Street. Officials with the Transbay Joint Powers Authority then promptly closed the $2.2 billion facility and a portion of Fremont Street between Howard and Mission streets were closed too.
