Test air leakage rate: With a fully-charged air system (typically 125 psi), turn off the engine, release the service brake, and time the air pressure drop. The loss rate should be less than 2 psi in 1 minute for single vehicles and less than 3 psi in 1 minute for combination vehicles.
Construction on the Coronado Bridge began in 1967. Almost 500 prestressed concrete piles were fastened to the sea floor of the bay to provide the foundations for the bridge. The steel and concrete components were largely built offsite, then assembled together from marine construction barges over the bay.
Picturesque in its beauty, architecture and views, Coronado is a must-see destination on any San Diego vacation. With miles of sand and waves, Coronadoâs expansive shore regularly earns a rightful position among the nationâs best beaches. The main road into Coronado crosses the Coronado Bridge (built in 1977). The bridge is more than two miles long and curves at nearly 80 degrees, soaring across the San Diego Bay. It stands just over 200 feet tall, with room for naval ships to enter and exit the harbor below.
