Weather and traffic permitting, two-way operations will be implemented to help ease eastbound delays at the Bay Bridge. Two-way operations may be limited based on westbound traffic volumes, as bridge officials strive to mitigate delays on both sides of the bridge. Two-way operations are prohibited during bridge wind warnings/restrictions, fog/limited visibility or times of precipitation, and may be prohibited during incidents.
Avoid distractions, maintain a safe following distance and follow posted speed limits. Motorists should stay on US 50 on both sides of the bridge to keep local roadways open for first responders and residents.
