Bay Area traffic patterns returned to normal Monday after westbound lanes of the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge opened sooner than expected after a weekend closure forced motorists onto public transportation. The San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge (known locally as the Bay Bridge) is a pair of bridges spanning San Francisco Bay of California, in the United States.
The Bay Bridge is back open, providing relief to drivers who stayed in town over the Presidents Day weekend and were caught up in the gridlock during the closure. The bridge's upper deck reopened Sunday evening, nearly a day and a half.
Work has gone so smoothly on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge that the westbound direction of the bridge will be open Sunday night. The roadway was not expected to be open until 5 am Tuesday. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE.
