Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) continues to experience traffic congestion due to high visitation in the Marin Headlands and surrounding areas. To assist with expected delays during the upcoming holidays, a one-way loop traffic plan will be activated on Wednesday, December 19 until Monday, January 7 in the Marin Headlands. 

Vehicle traffic through the Baker-Barry Tunnel in the Marin Headlands will be one-way in the westbound direction. Conzelman Road will convert from two-way travel to one-way travel in the eastbound direction between McCullough Road and Alexander Avenue, with a portion of the remaining travel lane dedicated for visitor parking. Traffic is expected to be heavy throughout this area and visitors can expect delays entering and leaving the Marin Headlands during this period. Please use caution, follow traffic signs, and plan ahead prior to your visit.

Bicycles will not be subject to these restrictions and will continue to operate in both directions.
