Caltrans announced that the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge will undergo nightly maintenance closures, which may result in delays for travelers. The second and third lanes on the lower deck will be closed from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. on weekdays. Despite visible cracking, which is common in aging bridges, maintenance teams can usually perform quick asphalt repairs. However, serious cracks detected recently require more significant interventions. Past incidents of concrete falling from the bridge in 2019 were due to different issues than the current cracking, which is being monitored closely.
Ney emphasized that the current cracking situation, while concerning in appearance, is actually normal for an older bridge like the Richmond-San Rafael, highlighting that quick repairs can mitigate further issues.
Despite past incidents of falling concrete in 2019, Ney reassured that the current cracking is common for the bridge's age and does not pose a serious concern.
