Hey San Franciscans and Marinites, if you're headed to or from the city this weekend, you should really try to take Doyle Drive.
Wait. Check that... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT TAKE DOYLE DRIVE.
That's because, as you may have heard once or twice by now, Doyle Drive is going to be torn down, starting at 8 p.m. tonight. When a temporary bypass opens on 5 a.m., Monday, it's not going to be your parents' (or grandparents, that thing's been around since 1936) Doyle Drive. But it will be seismically safe, unlike the current roadway.
"It'll be a whole new experience," Caltrans spokesperson Molly Graham told KQED's Paul Lancour. "Doyle Drive will be completely gone. People will be on a brand new bridge, and you'll be going through a brand new tunnel, and then you'll be on a [ground-level] roadway that will take you to the Palace of Fine arts, where there'll be a new Y intersection."
The overall project is called Presidio Parkway, Graham said, but there's no effort to change the actual name of the roadway that you may or may not be sentimental about, depending on how many times you've sat in traffic.
