HHB says the bridge will be closed to vehicle traffic from 7 p.m. Friday to 5:30 a.m. Monday. It will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists.
The work is part of Project LifeSpan, a two-year, $70-million effort that will strip the paint from the bridge's towers to allow for inspection and repairs.
