The bridge has a fair amount of traffic 24/7. In fact, since BART shuts down from about 1:30 AM until around 5 or 5:30 AM, in the wee hours the bridge is the only connection between SF and the East Bay. And a fair number of night workers, trucks and such need to use it then.
Like I said, I can't recall any closures at any time except a couple of weekend closures related to the construction of the new eastern span and the recent closure to repair the cantilever span damage.
