That is a nice pattern for sure. One of the shows on discovery talks about how the bridge is receiving a new paint job every day...by the time they get to the other end, they have to restart at the beginnning. The color is actually primer. The bridge was primed after completion and was going to be painted a grey color but the people loved the orangey red color, so they stuck with it. It is currently being earthquake retrofited one bolt at a time. They will only allow one bolt/rivet to be removed at any one time.
