Overnight lane reductions set for Sunday – Friday, 12:00 a.m. – 6:00 a.m.<\/p>\n
Oakland\/San Francisco \u2014 Caltrans is beginning a project to repaint the west span of the San Francisco\u2013Oakland Bay Bridge (SFOBB) on Tuesday, April 7, as part of ongoing preservation work on the west span. This paint work is part of Caltrans\u2019 long\u2011term effort to preserve bridge steel components, extend structure life, and improve corrosion protection. The SFOBB paint project is part of ongoing west\u2011span rehabilitation efforts which includes the west span joint rehabilitation effort currently underway. This project is expected to be completed by Spring 2031. <\/p>\n
What to Expect
During the project, travelers should expect overnight lane closures, consistent with standard SFOBB construction practice\u2014typically 1\u20133 lane closures between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., Sunday night through Friday morning. These lane windows and patterns are also used for other west\u2011span construction work, including joint rehabilitation and cable\u2011related activities.<\/p>\n
Work will not require full bridge closures. Crews will set up protective containment around work areas, which may shift along portions of the west span as progress continues.<\/p>\n
Traffic Impacts
Drivers should anticipate: <\/p>\n
Overnight delays due to reduced lane capacity
\n Slower traffic flow near active work zones
\n Possible temporary noise and construction lighting during overnight hours
\n Occasional ramp or shoulder closures, as required for equipment access<\/p>\n
