Update 9:17 p.m. From the Bay Area News Group:
Thanks to clear skies, the westbound Bay Bridge reopened Sunday, more than a day ahead of schedule, according to Caltrans. Good weather and teamwork by contractors allowed the first car to cross the bridge at 7:15 p.m. Sunday, almost 34 hours early, said Caltrans spokesman Bart Ney.
Drivers crossing the westbound span will see new paving and lane striping for a quarter-mile after the toll plaza. The road now also curves left sooner after the toll plaza, although the turn is not as sharp as the S-curve, Ney said. The road moved between 30 and 40 feet. Full story

(AP) SAN FRANCISCO — Work has gone so smoothly on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge that the westbound direction of the bridge will be open Sunday night, well ahead of Tuesday morning's expected opening, a Caltrans official said.
Crews were scheduled to begin picking up cones around 7 p.m. Sunday, with traffic expected to begin moving over the upper deck, or the westbound lanes, around 8 p.m., Caltrans spokesman Bart Ney said during a Sunday evening press briefing.
The roadway originally was not expected to be open until 5 a.m. Tuesday.
