The San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge reopened at 6:30am this morning (Tuesday) just a little late for the morning rush.  The bridge was closed Thursday night Sep 3 at 8pm, and was due to reopen 5am Tuesday Sep 8 in a long planned transition of the double deck portion of the bridge's east span as part of its replacement with a new single deck span.

Atlantic City Expressway operating exclusively westbound would be the major evacuation route from the south Jersey shore in case of a hurricane or tidal surge, according to Atlantic County emergency planners.  Normal eastbound lanes are planned to be reversed so both roadways would take vehicles away from the shore to safety further inland.
