Motorists should expect delays and allow extra time for travel.

Part of of the work will involve removing rivets and replacing the rivets with high-strength bolts.

San Francisco residents living near the Bay Bridge are being advised there could be loud construction noise as a result of the work, Caltrans officials said.
