Bay Bridge Closure
The countdown is on. At 8:00 on Thursday evening, the Bay Bridge will close for construction. Caltrans will keep the bridge closed until 5:00 Tuesday morning. Retrofit work closed the bridge on Labor Day weekends in 2006 and 2007, but this time around the closure will affect the Friday commute. We take a look at alternative transportation options, as well as the massive engineering feat crews are tackling.
Host: Scott Shafer
Guests:
- Bart Ney, spokesperson for Caltrans
- Julie Hilton, field engineer and surveyor with MCM Construction
- Mary Currie, public affairs director for the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District
- Randy Rentschler, director of legislation and public affairs for the Metropolitan Transportation Commission
