WHY IS THE ARCHED (PORTAL) ENTRANCE TO THE WALDO TUNNEL JUST NORTH OF THE BRIDGE ON THE MARIN SIDE PAINTED AS A RAINBOW?

According to the San Francisco Chronicle: It was a Caltrans engineer who came up with the idea. The late Alan Hart thought the arches resembled rainbows, and sent out a painting crew to add the tie-dyed touch. The northern portals remained unadorned because they could be seen from homes. Caltrans crews have maintained the rainbow paint job ever since.
