The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge is closed in both directions through 5 a.m. Tuesday as Caltrans crews replace a 350-foot, 6,500-ton section of the bridge just east of the Yerba Buena Island tunnel.
The new section of the westbound viaduct is part of a seismic retrofit that Caltrans has been performing on the bridge.
Caltrans began closing all bridge onramps at 8 p.m. Friday, Caltrans spokesman Bart Ney reported.
Ney said the California Highway Patrol officially handed the bridge over to Caltrans at 8:40 p.m., when officials were able to get all the vehicles off the bridge.
“This place is a ghost town,” Ney said. “Traffic is light throughout the entire region.”
