550:-treated timbers forced the shutdown of the Dumbarton (road) Bridge in both directions. The fire was not extinguished until noon on 4 January 1998, despite a rainstorm. Access to the bridge was difficult, and firefighters were forced to use a rail maintenance vehicle along with a pump truck with a large reservoir, laying out over 4,000 feet (1,200 m) of fire hoses as the low tides and wetlands precluded access via fireboat. Arson was suspected as the cause of the fire, but never proven. No active electrical equipment was near the bridge, and no lightning was present. After continuing to receive complaints about smoke for three days, upon further investigation crews discovered the fire was continuing to burn wooden structures 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 m) underground.

the receding tide and the bridge plans were modified. The first proposed change was to modify the trestle approaches 200 feet (61 m) immediately to the east and 600 feet (180 m) immediately to the west of the swing span by changing these to double-track width. However, the wider trestle bents continued to vibrate in the receding tide. The final as-built design eliminated approximately 1,080 feet (330 m) of trestle approaches in favor of the six 180-foot (55 m) steel truss spans, three on either side of the swing span.

The truss-swing span interface is supported on four cylindrical concrete piers 18 feet (5.5 m) in diameter. The swing span's center is supported by a 40-foot (12 m) diameter cylindrical concrete pier resting atop more than one hundred piles.

The original bridge design for the San

The swing span weighs approximately 1,215 to 1,500 short tons (1,102 to 1,361 t). When the swing span is open to accommodate water traffic, it affords a 125-foot (38 m) wide navigation channel to either side. The eastern trestle approach is 1,002 feet (305 m) long, and the western
