A stretch of N.Park Victoria Dr between Calaveras Blvd and Jacklin Rd is being reconfigured for lane reduction. What that means is BIKE LANE! The initial markings in the pictures below show the lane clearly defined! Woohoo!

My ride was to hit Dumbarton Bridge, so up Warm Springs Blvd I went and made a left onto E. Warren Ave to find a new overpass that now joins W.Warren Ave on the other side of I-880.
E.Warren Ave and W.Warren Ave are now joined with this overpass.
Another new find was at Don Edwards Wildlife Refuge. Looks like the state had some funds committed to build a new visitor center.

As I continued on to the Dumbarton Bridge I practiced a bit of time trialing. At first, it was nerve racking, (resting the forearms on the top bar while gripping the inner brake handles), but after a few minutes I got comfortable with it. The MPH picked up considerably with the same pedal effort. Yesssss!
There seems to be some work going on at the bridge. Half of the bridge had a asphalt layer on the east side while the other half of the span was untouched.

Quite a few changes on this route that I haven't done in quite a while since I no longer commute to work by bike.
