Caltrans opened a new segment of the Bay Bridge approach this morning. The re-route features a wider on-ramp at 5th and Bryant than the one-lane chute drivers have had to use for the last several months, as well as a jog to the north for freeway traffic bound for the bridge.

Now they’ll tear down (”demo,” as the photo says) the old part of the approach that overshadows Stillman St., a narrow street immediately to the southeast of the old approach.

Here’s the Chronicle story.
