Golden Gate Bridge Closes Sidewalk Today
Construction begins today, Tuesday, and will continue throughout summer.
The entire length of a Golden Gate Bridge sidewalk will close for several months starting today, Tuesday, for a retrofitting construction project, bridge district officials said.
The west sidewalk will close Tuesday and remain closed through September as part of a seismic retrofit construction project. Bicycles and pedestrians will share the east sidewalk, with 24-hour access for bicyclists and sunrise-to-sunset use permitted for pedestrians, bridge officials said.
The construction work also involves replacement of the roof of the Marin Anchorage Housing.

Come September, construction will move to the east sidewalk, but only a 300-foot section will be closed for four months into 2012. The sidewalk closure is part of a third phase of a three-phase bridge retrofit project. The first two phases were completed in 2001 and 2008, respectively, according to bridge authorities.
