On July 8 the PR team took the media on a tour of the largely completed Presidio Parkway, a complex of ground-level roadways, viaducts and tunnels that are replacing the Doyle Drive connection to the Golden Gate Bridge. Hooking these pieces up into a seamless corridor will require substantial work under tight deadlines during the 3.5-day weekend closure from July 9-13, 2015.
