*****NOTE: The bridge will REOPEN early. The Bridge will reopen on Sunday night, February 19th starting at
8 pm. This is well ahead of the original Tuesday morning reopening.*****
If you have been asleep—
The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge will be shut down over the President’s Day weekend.
It is a long holiday weekend so plan ahead if you are going in to visit the City by the Bay or if you live in San Francisco and are planning on being out of town over the holiday.
From Friday, February 17th at 8 pm to Tuesday, February 21 at 5am the Westbound lines (heading into San Francisco from Interstate 80) will be closed to traffic.
The Eastbound lanes will be open.
The Golden Gate Bridge will be open.
The Ferries, BART, donkeys and helicopters will all be in service.
If you plan right you will e ok but you may experience delays. Especially getting into the City.
My advice? Go early (like Friday morning) and stay longer (like Wednesday) and have more fun with less stress!
