Caltrans will extend Labor Day Weekend's Bay Bridge closure by an additional day. The extra day is needed to seamlessly shove in a section of bridge bypass at the tunnel. So, the bridge will close at 8 p.m. on Thursday Sept. 3, then open again at 5 a.m. on Tuesday Sept. 8. The bridge, by the way, will be closed in both directions. According to reports, this extra day will make "the first non-holiday weekday that the bridge has been closed since 1989 when the Loma Prieta earthquake collapsed part of the bridge deck."



A "forth" day?
Dear god.
Yeah for a quiet weekend for those of us who live practically under the Bay Bridge in mid-rise condos.
Yay -- will they do that BART all night thingy again? That was really cool. I could finally get hammered in Oakland!
Awesome. Last time the bridge was closed was also burning man. It was like heaven in the city. You could get into Tartine without waiting in line and you could park anywhere you wanted.
Park anywhere you wanted??? Truly, this would be heaven.
