The westbound deck of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge will be closed during Presidents’ Day weekend 2012. Construction of a slight detour near the toll plaza will require the upper deck heading into San Francisco to be closed from 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 17 to 5 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 21. Eastbound traffic will have full access to the bridge during the closure.
Weather could delay the reopening of the westbound deck or postpone the closure to another weekend.
Motorists will not be able to drive on the upper deck towards San Francisco during this closure but the lower deck toward the East Bay will remain open. Residents and visitors will have numerous alternatives for getting around the Bay Area while the westbound deck is closed.
Allow extra time for travel and use of other bridges, including the Golden Gate Bridge, the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, the San Mateo- Hayward Bridge and the Dumbarton Bridge. Vehicle access between San Francisco and Yerba Buena Island/Treasure Island will be maintained during the closure.
BART (BAY AREA RAPID TRANSIT)
BART will run overnight service at select stations during the closure.
