Golden Gate Bridge "Closed" 2015 - Except for Golden Gate Transit (NORTH)

Golden Gate Bridge Closed January 10th & 11th of 2015 for the installation of a movable center barrier to prevent head-on collisions. During the construction only construction vehicles, emergency vehicles and our Golden Gate Transit buses were allowed to drive across.....Buses were escorted by either California Highway Patrol or Bridge Patrol crossing usually in a convoy.

Experience the construction in progress with sections of the barrier in place and open stretches where it's yet to be installed. Trucks, forklifts, and all kinds of equipment can be seen! Quite a sight to roll up and see the "Road Closed" signs blocking entry to the bridge.......

This is video recorded from the dash of a Golden Gate Transit Bus starting from the staging area on the Doyle Drive near Marina Street in San Francisco and records crossing the Golden Gate Bridge (((includes sitting a few minutes at the Toll Plaza loading passengers and waiting for clearance to cross with absolutely no traffic!!! - Safe to say it's a view you will probably never see again in your lifetime))), with the trip continuing all the way to the San Rafael Transit Center -

Rolling north through the Waldo Tunnel and down the grade, look to the left and see where Highway 101 Southbound was coned forcing traffic to exit at the Sausalito / Marin City off ramp where the highway was closed.

*** I have also published an edited version which is the ( 5 ) minute ride across the bridge starting from the Toll Plaza and ending near Vista Point for those who prefer a shorter ride....

Enjoy your trip as I drive, and thank you for riding Golden Gate Transit!!!!

PS: Thanks to all my passengers, coworkers, family, friends and YouTube visitors who have expressed how much they have enjoyed this video!
