The official opening ceremony has been scheduled for Saturday, August 29th at 10am on the Benicia side. Cyclists will be able to ride to the ceremony from Martinez starting at 9 am.

Some cyclists have already ridden across the bridge, but the last I heard the construction was not yet complete. Construction equipment was located on the path, some of the expansion joint areas were not covered and could be a hazard, and the railing on the edge of the bridge was not fully installed.
