The Bay Bridge reopened at 6 PM on Monday, September 3, 11 hours ahead of schedule. Over the weekend BART carried a record number of passengers, became a rolling party with its overnight service, and other public transportation systems saw record numbers of riders! No major tieups were encountered. Congratulations to Caltrans for its $1 million campaign of information leading up to this event!
Amtrak bus connections to/from San Francisco and other Bay Area cities affected! From Friday August 31st through Tuesday, September 4th Caltrans will be performing extensive construction on the Bay Bridge.
