Construction crews working to shore up a part of San Francisco’s Salesforce Transit Center where two cracked steel beams were found last week are hoping to reopen Fremont Street in about two weeks, officials with the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA) said on Oct. 1.

TJPA officials abruptly closed the newly opened Transit Center, as well as Fremont Street between Mission and Howard streets on Oct. 2 after finding the first crack. A second crack was found while workers were inspecting the first.
