Bay Bridge closed, city cut off from civilization
What will the good folks of San Francisco do, cut off from the bright lights of the East Bay for four days? Don’t worry, there are plenty of ways people can get to Berkeley, even without the Bay Bridge.
The excellent Transbay Blog (best place for following transportation issues in the Bay Area) has a good round-up of how to get around. You’ll certainly find it more helpful than either the main Caltrans site, where Bay Bridge information is very well hidden, or the dedicated Bay Bridge site, where the priority seems to be .mov files showing construction.
BART will run 24 hours a day during the closure, although the late night schedule is very sparse. For some reason, BART will not run after midnight on Monday, even though the bridge is not scheduled to reopen until 5am. The other non-roundabout way to cross the Bay is the Oakland/Alameda ferry service, which is putting on extra services during the closure.
