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.
Guests:
Randy Rentschler, director of legislation and public affairs for the Metropolitan Transportation Commission
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
