APEC Traffic Chaos: San Francisco's Bay Bridge Closure and Security Preparations

Two lanes of the Bay Bridge in San Francisco will be closed during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, causing potential traffic chaos. The closures will allow unfettered access for California Highway Patrol vehicles for APEC security. Other parts of Bay Area highways will also be affected, and signage will be posted to warn of on-ramp closures. Caltrans encourages people to take public transit to San Francisco during the summit. Additionally, parts of San Francisco's SoMa neighborhood will be closed to private car traffic, drawing criticism from some residents.
