Caltrans Bay Area-District 4 has issued an alert for nighttime lane closures on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge from Monday, October 14, to Friday, October 18, as crews conduct essential bridge deck repairs. During this period, eastbound traffic on I-580 will experience the closure of two far-left lanes from 9 PM to 5 AM, while westbound traffic will see one lane closed from 7 PM to 5 AM.

Additionally, bicycle lane closures may be implemented, with advance notice provided to riders. Shuttle services will operate at the Stenmark Drive Bridge entrance and Vista Point in San Rafael to assist commuters. Motorists should be aware that speed limits will be reduced to 40 mph in construction zones to ensure safety.

No work is scheduled for the weekend, and all activities are contingent on weather conditions. Drivers are advised to plan their routes accordingly to avoid potential delays.
