The Bay Bridge will close down over the Labor Day weekend. Again. CalTrans announced today that they will shutdown the bridge across the bay in both directions on Friday night, Sept. 4, until Tuesday morning, Sept. 8. According to SFGate,"the closure will allow construction crews to cut a portion of the existing double-deck eastern span near Yerba Buena Island, and slide it out. In its place, they'll roll in a new double deck section that will re-route traffic onto a curving temporary bypass for three to four years." This work is all a part of the new eastern span, which is expected to open in 2013.

I'm always a fan for ease of traffic congestion on a 3-day weekend.
"curving temporary bypass" Whee! Sounds like a roller coaster.
Assuming this means 24 BART service that weekend?
24 hour BART service, rather.
nope, whichever side of the bridge you're on before the closure is the one you have to stay on for the weekend. bring a sleeping bag.
A Labor Day Lock-In!
escape from San Francisco!
Last couple years IIRC they either escorted some AC transit buses through the construction zone or BART had limited (1 hour interval) 24hr service.
Everyone's broke this year, though.
The last time this happened, downtown was rather quiet, which was a nice rare treat for me, perhaps not for businesses though.
