SAN FRANCISCO — Crews began work to shore up two cracked support beams that have shuttered a celebrated and newly opened $2 billion San Francisco transit centre, authorities said Thursday. The San Francisco Chronicle reported Thursday that a lawsuit filed in May could shed light on the cracking. The transit hub opened in August in the quickly developing South of Market neighbourhood in downtown San Francisco that has other troubled buildings. But some homeowners have sued the developer and San Francisco, alleging construction of the transit facility caused the Millennium Tower to sink. Recently elected San Francisco Mayor London Breed, who toured the facility Wednesday, said she wants answers “and someone needs to be held accountable once the cause is determined.”
