This project began in August 2025, to rehabilitate the finger joints and reconstruction of selected bridge joints on both upper and lower decks. Construction for this project occurs mostly during nighttime hours and will be completed by June 2027.<\/p>\n<p>On March 8, 2026, Phase 3 of the project will begin. This phase of the project involves removing the temporary underdeck platforms installed during Phase 2. While this work is underway, a truck will be used for installation, temporarily reducing vertical clearance by approximately 15 feet at the span location.<\/p>\n<p>During Phase 3, Caltrans will also install a temporary mid\u2011span platform in Span C\u2013D (W4\u2013W5). This installation will be underway through May 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Caltrans appreciates the cooperation of the maritime community during this essential safety and rehabilitation work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"max-width: 1250px; text-align: center; margin: auto; padding-bottom: 20px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Caltrans finishing up work on the Bay Bridge as San Francisco\u2013Oakland Bay Bridge (SFOBB) West Span Joint Rehabilitation Project Phase 2 is completed.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/traffic-advisory-2026-03-04-sfobb-west-span-project-2.png\" style=\"max-width: 100%; max-height: 100%; min-width: 24px; min-height: 24px; border:4px solid #046b99;\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"max-width: 1250px; text-align: center; margin: auto; padding-bottom: 20px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Caltrans working on the Bay Bridge as San Francisco\u2013Oakland Bay Bridge (SFOBB) West Span Joint Rehabilitation Project Phase 2 is completed.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/traffic-advisory-2026-03-04-sfobb-west-span-project-3.jpg\" style=\"max-width: 100%; max-height: 100%; min-width: 24px; min-height: 24px; border:4px solid #046b99;\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"max-width: 1250px; text-align: center; margin: auto; padding-bottom: 20px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Caltrans finishing up work on the Bay Bridge as San Francisco\u2013Oakland Bay Bridge (SFOBB) West Span Joint Rehabilitation Project Phase 2 is completed.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/traffic-advisory-2026-03-04-sfobb-west-span-project-4.jpg\" style=\"max-width: 100%; max-height: 100%; min-width: 24px; min-height: 24px; border:4px solid #046b99;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Driver and Community Benefits <br \/>Once complete, the project will:<\/p>\n<p>    Preserve and extend the life of the bridge structures<br \/>\n    Improve ride quality and driving comfort<br \/>\n    Enhance overall freeway safety<\/p>\n<p>Stay Informed<br \/>For the latest updates visit <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sfhighwayprojects.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">sfhighwayprojects.com<\/a> where Caltrans will continue to provide updates as schedules are confirmed.
