Mayor Gavin Newsom announced a critical milestone in the renovation of Terminal 2 at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). In just 18 months, the project is "topping off" by installing its last significant piece of structural steel.

"The renovation of Terminal 2 breathes new life into an old terminal," said Mayor Newsom. "This project allows the Bay Area to meet the growing the needs of travelers throughout the world, and ensures that SFO remains a significant economic engine in the region by creating and maintaining jobs."

 UPDATE: The Bay Bridge reopened this morning, Tuesday, September 8th, after crews worked around the clock to repair a crack in a steel link on the eastern span. Yesterday CalTrans had announced that the Bridge reopening would have to be delayed to Wednesday morning but the crews were able to complete the repairs earlier than estimated helping to avoid traffic gridlock as thousands of people looked for other ways to get across the bay.

"Construction crews have been working around the clock this Labor Day weekend to re-open the Bay Bridge. Unfortunately, due to a crack revealed during an inspection of the Eastern Span the bridge will remain closed on Tuesday while work is completed to ensure its safety," said Mayor Gavin Newsom. "Commuters are encouraged to take public transit, stay home or, if they must drive, build in extra time for expected traffic delays. The City will continue to monitor the situation. Updated information is available on 511.org or by calling 511."

San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) and San Francisco Police Department enforcement personnel will be deployed in the South of Market area to assist in detouring around the ramp closures.

During the extended closure, the public is encouraged to take public transit and alternate driving routes.

• Motorists can use alternate bridges: Golden Gate Bridge, Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, San Mateo-Hayward Bridge and the Dumbarton Bridge.
• BART will run expanded commute service on Tuesday with longer trains when available, but will not run overnight service between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. early Tuesday morning.
• Muni Owl service operates from approximately 1 until 5 a.m., each morning at 30-minute intervals on most lines.
• AC Transit will pick up and drop off its passengers heading to and from San Francisco at four BART stations: Coliseum/Oakland Airport, MacArthur, North Berkeley and West Oakland, from Friday through Monday.
• The Golden Gate, Vallejo Baylink and Alameda/Oakland ferries will run extra service on Tuesday. The Alameda Harbor Bay ferry will add extra trips on Tuesday.

The Labor Day weekend closure of the Bay Bridge will begin at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 3. The bridge will reopen by 5 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 8 as Caltrans completes an essential and unprecedented construction feat.

While the bridge is closed this year, a 300-foot-long double-deck section of the East Span will be cut and rolled out of the way, 150-feet above Yerba Buena Island (YBI). A new double-deck section will be moved into place to connect the bridge with a short detour.

Traffic will flow on the half-mile-long detour connecting the East Span to the YBI Tunnel until the new Bay Bridge opens. The traffic shift will allow crews to demolish a portion of the original bridge, and build a new (permanent) connection from the tunnel to the new East Span.
