I understand the whole process is much faster now that the planes have FasTrak.
We all know about the planes, of course, since that method is also used in the reverse direction when SFO is reduced to one runway ops for long periods of time.
However, maybe you could clarify exactly where on 101 you were when you saw the San Mateo bridge.
