Super Bowl LX Closures and Bay Bridge Lane Reductions: San Francisco Friday Commute Update

Overview of Friday Morning Conditions

Commuters should prepare for a complex Friday on San Francisco’s roads and transit systems today, February 6, 2026. Between the ongoing surge of visitors for Super Bowl LX at the Moscone Center and major Caltrans maintenance on the Bay Bridge, travel times will be significantly higher than a typical Friday. While public transit remains the most reliable option, several reroutes and extra service intervals are in effect to handle the volume.

Major Super Bowl LX Road Closures

The Super Bowl Experience at the Moscone Center continues to dominate traffic patterns in SoMa and Union Square. Notable closures effective today include:

• Jessie Street: A new full closure begins today at 8:00 a.m. between New Montgomery and Annie streets, lasting through Monday afternoon.
• Howard Street: Full vehicle restrictions remain in place between 3rd and 4th streets. Expect rolling closures on Mission and 4th streets throughout the day as security protocols shift.
• Folsom Street: The northern-most travel and parking lanes are closed between Mabini and 3rd streets.
• 3rd Street: Two western-most lanes are closed between Harrison and Stevenson streets to accommodate pedestrian corridors.

Highway and Bridge Alerts

Caltrans has several active projects affecting major arteries today:

• I-80 (Bay Bridge): Maintenance crews are closing the far-right lane (Lane 1) on the eastbound I-80 toward the Yerba Buena Island Tunnel from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Expect bottlenecking near the San Francisco anchorage.
• US-101/I-80 Viaducts: Rehabilitation work on the Central and Bayshore viaducts continues. While overnight ramp closures on 8th Street and 4th Street were scheduled to reopen by 7:00 a.m., heavy equipment may still be visible near the shoulders.
• Transbay Howard Streetscape: Day-time road construction on Howard Street between The Embarcadero and 4th Street will cause intermittent delays and lane closures from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Muni and BART Service Updates

Public transportation is operating with increased capacity to support event crowds. Travelers are encouraged to use the newly expanded BART Wi-Fi 6E, now live at Embarcadero, Powell, and Civic Center stations.

• Muni Central Subway: Extra S Shuttle service will begin at 3:00 p.m. today between Chinatown-Rose Pak and Marin Street. Note that the Central Subway will remain open until 1:30 a.m. tonight.
• Muni Metro: Extra shuttle trains are running between West Portal and Embarcadero to alleviate congestion.
• BART Infrastructure: The escalator modernization project at the 4th and Market street entrance of Powell St. station is estimated to return to service today, which should improve station flow for the evening commute.

Drivers are advised to text SUPERBOWLSF to 888-777 for real-time AlertSF updates and to allow an additional 30 to 45 minutes if traveling through the SoMa district.
