You’ve probably heard that the Bay Bridge is closed westbound into San Francisco until Tuesday at 5 a.m. But what if you have plans in the East Bay and need to make it back into the city?
Here are some alternate routes:
— BART is running during the day as scheduled, and will add hourly overnight service at 14 stations.
Stations with overnight service on the El Cerrito-Dublin route: El Cerrito del Norte, Berkeley, MacArthur, 12th Street, Coliseum, Bay Fair and Dublin/Pleasanton.
Stations with overnight service on the Concord-SFO route: Concord, Walnut Creek, MacArthur, 12th Street, Embarcadero, Powell, 24th Street, Daly City and SFO .

— If you’re on wheels, you can take the Richmond-San Rafael, San Mateo-Hayward or Dumbarton bridges.
— If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, try hopping a ferry. The Alameda-Oakland, Alameda-Harbor Bay and Vallejo Baylink ferries will run additional boats during the closure. See eastbayferry.com and baylinkferry.com for more info.
— AC Transit won’t operate over the bridge during the closure, but will provide regular service in the East Bay by connecting to and from the West Oakland BART station. actransit.org has more.
