Bay Bridge lanes to close, movement to be restricted, with checkpoints in San Francisco for high-level conference.
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference beginning Sunday in San Francisco is expected to roll out the red carpet for dignitaries — and result in roadway closures, snarled traffic and security checkpoints for residents, workers and visitors.
Caltrans will shut down the 4th Street off ramp from eastbound I-80 in San Francisco, and the 5th Street off ramp from westbound I-80 in the city, from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily Wednesday through Friday. Cable car service, the agency said, will be “significantly impacted” from Tuesday through Sunday. The California cable car line will be suspended, temporarily replaced by a bus. The Powell/Hyde and Powell/Mason cable car lines will not travel south of Washington Street on Powell Street. A bus will replace service to stops along Powell Street from Jackson to Ellis streets.
A more restricted security zone will be in place Nov. 16 outside downtown in Lincoln Park, with Clement Street between 34th and 38th avenues closed to vehicle traffic. Only people living or working inside the zone, or attending APEC can enter, and will undergo security screening.
