Friday, Caltrans will begin its long-term repair of the failed eyebar on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge that was discovered during the Labor Day closure.
This fix is meant to reinforce the bridge until it is replaced.
While the bridge will remain open, three lanes on the upper deck and one lane on the lower deck will be closed at night while crews cut and remove approximately 12 feet of the cracked eyebar, and replace the removed section with new structural steel that will be spliced onto the remainder of the existing eyebar.
The repair, and related lane closures, will last approximately three weeks. An additional five weeks of work could be required at a later date.
See graphic for of limited access hours. All lanes will be open during peak traffic hours. BART will not provide overnight service during the lane closures. For more information, call 511 or visit 511.org.
