Bridge to nowhere closure

[Zak Jarvis]

The bridge is closed from 10/24 to 10/27.

I just snuck through, but I doubt that will be possible much longer, and it was a pain to do.

[Peter Colijn]

Interesting, thanks for the heads-up. It might be time to resurrect the LeBariation...

On the other hand, it looks like access to it will be improved. They’re opening the fence, so it looks like when they’re done it’ll be possible to go around the roundabout and then ride on a street to hit the bridge going straight rather than that 45 degree turn.

Well, we saw what happened when the other bridge closed, so...

I'm sure it'll be re opened any day now. Maybe even by 2035. 

[Cordelia Link]

Accidentally rode up to it today, it's definitely closed. Had to backtrack to Whipple.

I read this the other day and had no idea what it meant. For the record, the pedestrian bridge in Redwood City by the docktown marina is closed until 10/27 (per the sign).

[L. Perry Birch, Jr.]

The bridge itself is open, you just need to follow the detour signs and ride around the front side of the new Marriott hotel there.

Surely there's better pictures, but I found this bit of history: https://patch.com/california/redwoodcity-woodside/bp--progress-on-the-bike-bridge-to-nowhere

Awww...it used to be so fun! (Even on a road bike.)

That's a great photo! I still have some gloves that are torn up from crashing trying to set the BTN KOM a few years ago. Those approaches are so charmingly awkward

I remember having to bunny hop up onto the bridge.  Good times indeed!

Thanks for sharing that link! I lived on a boat at Pete’s Harbor when I first moved to the US in ‘94. That area is so different now as to be unrecognizable; it’s nice to be reminded that it wasn’t all a dream :)

The surprise dirt at the bottom is an SF2G rite of passage!!!

[John Murphy]

There was a lip on the left side that didn't require the bunny hop but that line was slower if you were going for a KOM.

The first time I did an SF2G I met both Crosby's and someone else, might have been Altendorf, at Ritual at 6:30 in January. I was in pretty good form and confident but wasn't really completely aware of what I had signed up for, being a died in the wool Skyline guy.

Tunnel Road in the dark in the fog. Then riding at breakneck speed towards the end of a parking lot in hotel land having no knowledge of that little white ramp and cut through the trees.

Then riding straight into a dirt field heading towards this strange bridge.

Just as I was starting to feel "Yeah I got this" i rode over the bridge at top speed and then saw the dropoff at the other side. Came that close to it being my *last* SF2G.

Fun times.

[Kurt Wallace Martin]

It's not SF2G without nervously looking over someone shoulder, fingers twitching on the brake levers…

[Alexandre Passos]

It is indeed open, just follow the signs for detour and watch out for the curb and you'll be fine.
