Mare Island Causeway Bridge has mechanical issues; Vallejo expects repairs complete soon

Vallejo officials are aiming for Friday to complete mechanical repairs on the Mare Island Causeway Bridge, which has been inoperable for nearly a week.

“We faced a decision to keep the bridge either elevated or lowered,” City Manager Andrew Murray said in a news release on Friday. “Given that the safety of our residents is our top priority, we chose to keep the bridge in the lowered position to ensure our emergency vehicles can pass without delay.”
