Two-lane closure of northbound Hwy 101 into Marin to impact weekend traffic
SAUSALITO – An emergency project announced by Caltrans will cause significant delays this weekend for people heading into Marin County via the Golden Gate Bridge, the agency said.
The two northbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 just north of the Robin Williams Tunnel in Sausalito from the tunnel to the Rodeo Avenue exit will be closed from 10 p.m. Friday through 7 a.m. Monday as crews replace a damaged drainage system in a retaining wall, Caltrans said. The leftmost lanes will be affected, says a spokesperson for the agency.
