Getting around the Bay Area will again be a challenge this weekend with the closure of the San Mateo Bridge and the shutdown of BART service between the Coliseum and Fruitvale stations.

Caltrans and the CHP will close the bridge in both directions at 10 p.m. Friday, with lane closures beginning as early as 7 p.m. It will reopen at 5 a.m. on Monday. The closure will be repeated over the Memorial Day weekend.
