. this is kpix 5 news. the new bay bridge ready for its close up. tonight caltrans so we can see what it will really look like. good evening, i'm ken. >> and i'm elizabeth cook. we should know for sure later on this week when the bridge will finally open. christin ayers is on the bridge right now. christin, what are you hearing? will it open sooner rather than later. >> well, caltrans is set to make the announcement of whether the bridge will open on labor day on thursday, but this is what it will look like when they actually do open it. all of the led lights on the bridge all fired up for the first time tonight and a bridge spokesperson told me it would be ideal to open it by labor day. >> when the sunset this evening, the entire eastern span of the new bay bridge lit up for the

very first time. >> the light is very uniformed and there's not patches of light and dark on the roadway. >> hundreds of custom made led lights, the final finishing touches on a bridge that is nearly complete. >> here's what's unique. the direction the lights are pointing. if you look down, you can actually see where my shadow is. that means drivers crossing the bridge will be back lit. they'll only be able to see the glare of the lights through their rear-view mirrors. by thursday, the toll bridge oversight committee will make the call whether to open on labor day. yesterday, kpix 5 broke the news that the federal government had ae proved a temporary fix for 32 bolts that busted last march clearing way for the bridge to open labor day. >> that is good news. we want to get people on to the

new safer bridge. >> a bridge spokesperson a number of dates and logistics, but crews are working as if they'll open labor day. >> and all together now, a total of four reports have approved that temporary fix on the bridge. you have to think that that adds a huge measure of confidence to any plans to open by labor day, liz. >> yeah. christin, you're standing on the bridge. you've been around these guys all night long. do you get a sense that caltrans, they've already made up their mind. >> i get a sense that is what they are shooting for, that labor day is what they are, in fact, shooting for, but i think it's al going to depend on logistics. >> sure. all right. the clock is ticking. all right. thanks. tonight we know it was a woman in her 40s who was killed in a tragic construction accident. she was walking on the san jose city college campus when kiet do tells us a tractor hit her. >> by the time emergency crews got to her body at the front of

the tractor's bucket, she had no pulse. they tried giving her cpr, and even though the hospital was literally across the street, but the time she got there, she was dead. it begs the question, was the construction area properly core donned off? the spray paint markings show where the woman's body was laying here on one of the main sidewalks in the heart of campus right next to the fine arts building. now, employees tell us there used to be a lot of construction barricades all around here, but for some reason they were all taken down. osha got the call shortly after it happened and is investigating. hours after the accident, the college chancellor and president held a somber press conference and couldn't say much, only that the woman was on foot when the front loader hit her. >> it's typical when construction projects are taking place, matters of precautionary measure are taken to make sure people don't walk into them. >> was it core donned off. >> i cannot answer any details to that at the time. >> the crews were there to

update the campus water system. in san jose, kiet do, kpix 5. >> the school won't say if the woman was a student, a member of the faculty or another construction worker. official confirmation came today. the body found near vacaville on friday is sandra. the 50-year-old federal investigator vanished august 4th after leaving her north oakland home. sandra told her theen age daughter she was heading to the store and will be back soon. what happened then, well, police aren't saying much. >> at this time, the police department will not be releasing any additional information other than the identification. >> police later arrested 56-year-old randy on an unrelated parole violation. he and sandra dated some 20 years ago. at this point, he hasn't been chargeed in her death, but police say he is a person of interest. also tonight, we have learned that it was a trail of blood that led cops to a stash of drugs, a lot of drugs.

this is $1.5 million worth of the illegal drug ecstasy that san francisco police found on sunday in an apartment on mission 29th street. officers were answering a burglary call when they followed blood from a broken window and found all this. more than 50 pounds of the powder used to make ecstasy, more than 30,000 pills, and nearly $30,000 in cash. police arrested these two guys, 31-year-old steven terrell and 36-year-old benjamin both of san francisco. investigators suspect the men may have been planning to deal the drugs at the outside lands music festival. tonight american air license and u.s. airways promised to fight the government's attempt to stop the two carriers from merging. the justice department filed an antitrust suit say tg merger would reduce competition forcing travelers to pay more for tickets. tonight one airline analyst told cbs news the airlines will still

the stranded pup was taken shore by a . tonight a dog is safe and sound after being found swimming in the middle of the bay. the stranded pup was taken to shore by a man in a motorized raft. now, a vet checked out the dog and says he'll be just fine. now, of course, a lot of people were talking about theing to today, but the guy who helped rescue him has also quite a story, too. he has what has to be one of the most unusual commutes in the bay area. reporter joe vasquez and photographer scott ethan joined the guy on his way home tonight. >> this is the world's greatest commute bar none. >> adam cohen is headed home from work from san francisco to berkeley in his raft. >> the commute is the best part of my life. i like to tell my friends that i'm forced to have fun twice a day kind of no matter what. >> it's a pretty fancy raft with out board motor, infreightable sides, fiberglass bottoms. it takes about 20 minutes to get

across the bay. >> i don't know what's more interesting, you saved a dog or you make this commute every day. >> it was on his commute yesterday almost home about 3 miles that adam spot add scene of chaos. wind surfers who first looked like they were in trouble. >> they were waving. so we went over there said, like, you guys all right, what's up? they're like we've got aing to. i was like, what. >> adam volunteered to bring the exhausted dog on board his boat and eventually took her home. turns out she's a puppy. she had a collar but no tag. the vet checked for a microchip. no such luck. they've named her richard parker after the character from life of pie. she seems to be doing okay, but there's still two big questions. who is the dog's owner, and how in the world did she end up in the middle of san francisco bay? actually, i had one more big question for adam. considering the impending bart strike and the commuter chaos that would follow, does riding his raft save him any money.

>> no. >> you don't save money? it's a boat, right. >> no, no. it's a hole in the water to pour money in. that's what it is. >> i'm sure everybody that owns a boat is probably shaking their head right now going, yep, it's a money pit. but, you know, it is hard to kind of decide which story you want to tell. the back to the dog, joe, any idea, any speculation on how he ended up in the middle of the bay, he or she ended up in the middle of the bay. >> liz, it's still not clear. i mentioned she was found about three miles off berkeley here. it was also about half a mile from treasure island, but still the spokesperson for berkeley dog and cat hospital that i spoke with today said it's just highly improbable she wam that distance in that current in the cold temperatures so that means she might have been abandoned or perhaps she fell out of a boat, but we don't know because no one has come forward yet to claim her. >> all right. hopefully she'll find a good

home. definitely very lucky dog sgli hope. >> all right. joe, thank you. san diego mayor and accused sexual harasser bob fill ner has been banned from, wait from it for it, hooters. they will not serve mayor philner. signs announcing the decision were posted at all four locations today. they say in part, we believe it is imperative for people to have standards. the mayor of san diego will not be served in this establishment. we believe that women should be treated with respect. it's hard to find a group happier than 16 garage workers in new jersey. they're still partying tonight. i can hear brown says they came forward today with stories of how they'll spend their share of a $448 million powerball jackpot. >> the coworkers at the ocean county maintenance garage have been plague the lottery for

[ laughter ] . >> could be a possibility. >> this is willie. >> i'm just going to continue watching nascar racing on sunday. maybe i'll be at my log cabin on multiple acres of land. >> all expect to keep their jobs except joe. he was planning to retire last year. >> just a miracle and shocking and after 34 years and almost retiring last year, this happens, and you just don't have

another choice. >> the odds of winning powerball are one in 170 million, but what about the odds of winning a lottery created by your father? that's what happened to barbara joe. her late father was the state senator who wrote the law that created new jersey's lottery. >> i couldn't ask for a better dad, and i wish he was here to share in the moment. >> six of the winners were victims of superstorm sandy. the house darlene rented with her daughter was destroyed. >> the first thing i'm going to do is buy me and my daughter a home and bring my dog home. >> first new jersey's newest millionaires went back to the garage. they had to finish their shifts. perhaps you did not win the lottery. chances are you didn't but you enjoyed that sunshine today. more coming tomorrow. we will hit the peak of our heat and peak of the sunshine later on tomorrow. looking live outside tonight we don't even have the low cloud
