San Mateo Bridge to Close Two October Weekends

The closures will take place the weekends beginning Oct. 19 and Oct. 26.

The San Mateo Bridge will close for two weekends in October to allow construction crews to replace bridge decks and a cracked beam discovered two years ago, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.

The bridge will be shut down  from 10 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday on the weekends beginning Oct. 19 and Oct. 26.

During the shutdown, Caltrans crews will remove and replace the bridge decks on the part of the span between the elevated segment and the trestles, along with a cracked beam discovered during a routine inspection in October 2010.
