but is it going to clear out the atmosphere? we need both of those things to happen. we'll talk about if it will and the chance of rain in the seven-day outlook coming up. chris? lisa thank you. 8:01 is our time. drivers looking to cross the golden gate bridge this weekend will be out of luck. crews closed the bridge to motorists overnight. workers are busy right now installing a movable median barrier that will prevent head-on collisions. nick smith joins us live from the golden gate bridge toll plaza with a look at what's to come. good morning to you. >> reporter: new information, we have learned they are doing other work directly related to that movable median barrier -- installing new wires, installing new lights, installing different pieces of the machinery that they will need to make sure that everything operates the way that it should. all of this again, directly related to the barrier installation. now the clock is ticking to complete that job that started just before midnight. officials shut down the golden gate bridge to vehicles late last night so workers can install that movable median barrier designated to prevent head-on collisions. now it's part of an effort to increase safety. according to golden gate bridge spokesperson david clemens being ready in time for the monday morning commute remains the priority. >> if we can open early, we will. we don't know if that's a possibility yet, but everything is going forward well. we're very happy with the progress that's been made overnight. and certainly the minute that we can open up the bridge to the driving public we will do that. >> reporter: now to create that movable barrier, that's a project in and of itself. 35,000 concrete blocks attached together by steel pins will be installed along the 1.7 mile long bridge and on the approach north of the golden gate. to reconfigure the bridge's six lane highway the barriers will be moved using trucks. back here live you can see that crews are still work to go get things in place. i can tell you that i just ran across a few bikers taking advantage of this opportunity -- can we get over there? i want to you see. there are like 300 bikers about to get on the bridge and actually go across. they said they're going to ride up to point reyes and usually they have to deal with the smog and everything from cars and the exhaust. this he said not today. we are going to take this opportunity to enjoy it. that's what we're finding a lot of people doing, working around this weekend and the closure of the bridge, making the best of the situation because all of it is designed to improve safety as we use it to commute regularly. here at the golden gate bridge, nick smith, abc 7 news. and are for the people coming out today, a chance to be a part of history. nick, thank you so much. you have to make the drive from the north bay to san francisco this this weekend, the detour will take you over the richmond, san rafael bridge along interstate 80 and then over the bay bridge. that drive normally takes about an hour but with all of the extra traffic expected, plan ahead for a much longer commute. however, it is difficult to predict exactly how much the shutdown will impact traffic. but transportation officials aren't taking any chances. they're preparing for a very rough weekend ahead. abc 7 news reporter alan wang tense with that part of the story. >> this has never really been done on it this scale before. >> reporter: the closing of the golden gate bridge this weekend could cause gridlock all over the bay area. the expectation is that drivers between san francisco and the north bay will funnel through the oakland bridge, down the 85/80 core could dore, and across the richmond-san rafael bridge. >> it's a two-lane bridge in each direction. so you have two lanes attempting to carry not only normal weekend traffic but now this surplus of weekend traffic. >> we came here to mark the golden gate bridge off our bucket list. >> reporter: julie and terry sloanerer, terrorists from ft. worth, texas, had to alter their weekend plans. >> now we'll be going south. >> reporter: to alleviate the congestion golden gate transit is running four times as many ferry runs to san francisco and twice as many from sosol iito. transit buses offer the only way across the bridge. they'll be operating on regular weekend schedules but there could be delays so passengers should leave early to reach their destinations. >> even if i was going to be here this weekend, i wouldn't even try. >> reporter: a host of factors will determine this weekend's traffic conditions, but just to be safe, the chp is preparing for the worst. alan wang, abc 7 news. and we'll be keeping an eye on the closures throughout this newscast and all weekend
