If you’re planning to head north across the Golden Gate Bridge late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, be advised that the Park Presidio/Highway 1 northbound approach will be closed from Friday, June 18 at 10pm until 11am the next morning, Saturday, June 19. The closure will begin at Lake Street.
The closure is due to the ongoing Presidio Parkway construction. The overnight closure is necessary to temporarily shift northbound traffic to the former southbound lanes of the Ruckman Bridge to allow work to begin on the permanent replacement bridge (see photo diagram below).
If you do need to head north on Highway 101 during the closure, you’ll need to approach the bridge through the Arguello, 15th Avenue or 25th Avenue Presidio gates. After navigating through the Presidio to the bridge, you can get on at the toll plaza on-ramp. View official detour routes

Sarah – thanks for being an awesome point of info!!! I haven’t seen this anywhere else yet.
You’re very welcome, Susan. They have had flashing signs posted on Lake and Park Presidio about the closure for the last couple of weeks so they’ve done a pretty good job of communicating it in advance as well. Hope it doesn’t affect your travel plans!
FYI: Last weekend, the 15th Avenue gate was a “dirt road” with construction going on, cement trucks and such cruising around.
I keep seeing signs suggesting that Park Presidio to the GG Bridge will be closed again on this weekend (June 25 & 26). Do you know anything about this?
thanks,
