Motorists traveling eastbound will encounter a 10-foot travel lane and a 45 mph speed limit for one week beginning this evening. Motorists traveling westbound will encounter a similar configuration for a one week period beginning Tuesday, March 14.
This lane reduction and reduced speed limit will allow Caltrans to safely perform work on the bridge barriers.
