Notes
There is construction at the US 101 north exit from I 80. We ended up on the wrong ramp onto Mission Street instead of Van Ness.
There is work being done on the supports of the south end of the Golden Gate bridge (see photo). The sidewalks on the bridge have been designated bicycles only on the west side and pedestrians only on the east side. Even so, we encountered a few bicycles while crossing the bridge on foot.
There is a lot of construction with closed exits on CA 99 in Fresno.
There is a great deal of road reconstruction going on in Yosemite due to this winter's flooding.
