Memo to Self: Avoid Bay Bridge this Weekend

More construction this weekend on the Bay Bridge "may affect traffic this weekend". We always love it when the papers say things like "could affect traffic." Of course it'll affect traffic, but they can never come out and say things like that. It's kind of like how lately you've been seeing a bunch of headlines like "Congressman Sending Love Notes to 16 Year Old Page Could Cause Political Problems." Gotta hedge your bets.

Anyways, two westbound lanes will be closed from the toll plaza to the middle of the suspension span between late tonight and tomorrow morning from 11 PM to 8 AM. The Sterling, 5th Street, and 8th Street on-ramps will also be closed around the same time.

For further details, as well as pretty cool-ass pictures of the construction efforts (like the picture above), go here.
