The Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District has begun the seismic retrofitting of multiple toll booths on the bridge.

“During the modification of the toll booths and canopy for the Moveable Median Barrier project, District engineers determined the structure needed to be retrofitted,” bridge spokeswoman Priya David Clemens said.

The work involves minor demolition and the installation of steel bracing to several toll booths over the next few months, Clemens said. Lanes adjacent to the booths also will be closed.

Toll Booth No. 5 and Lane No. 5 shut down Monday night. Lane No. 6 will also be closed from 7 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. during the work on Toll Booth 5, which is expected to take about a month, Clemens said.

Once the work is done on number 5, Toll Booth No. 3 will close next for about a month and the lanes adjacent to it also will be affected, Clemens said.

Similar work has already been completed on Toll Booth No. 7.

The refurbished iconic toll plaza clock will return once all of the retrofit work is complete, probably by early summer, Clemens said.

Lanes Nos. 7 and 8 will open once the Doyle Drive reconfiguration is complete, likely in the spring, Clemens said.
