San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge to close over Labor Day weekend
If you're going to San Francisco over Labor Day weekend, steer clear of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, which will be closed in both directions from 8 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Sept. 4 to complete seismic work.
Events that may be affected: the Sept. 2 Summer of Love concert planned for Golden Gate Park and the Sausalito Art Festival, which runs all weekend. One suggestion: Ferries will be running expanded service. Info: (510) 286-7167; www.baybridgeinfo.org.
