Answer 1 :
the bridge outage isn't that big of a deal if you are driving from Oakland to SF. I still suggest taking the bay bridge ($4 toll). I don't have a map in front of me but I beleive it is 880 or 580 that you can take from the airport and it will lead you right to 80 (the bay bridge).
Answer 2 :
there is no bridge outage! its the 580east bound connector that is demolished. if ur go to sf from oakland take north 880 and go towards the bridge! or take bart.....
Answer 3 :
Hi, If you rent a car there is no problem. The closure has not effected the 880 North to San Francisco interchange. You will pick up the interchange about mid-Oakland just follow the road signs. If you are traveling between 3PM and 7PM use the Diamond lane and the bridge crossing is free. If you are thinking of Public Transportation BART will do the trick just fine.
Answer 4 :
You could BART, but since several of you, maybe the shuttle? BART has AirTran bus from Airport to Train. Then you take Train to city. That is cheapest or try: Super Shuttle Service Phone: (510) 644-8181
Answer 5 :
I'm from the Bay Area...going to SF from Oakland is not the problem. Its the freeway on the other side coming from SF to Oakland. Its in the maze. You should have no problem. 880 and 580 both can take you to SF. Just follow the signs. Have fun!!
Answer 6 :
Just call a shuttle.... you shouldn't have any problem at all.... the bridge is fine. It's the 580 80 interchange east bound I believe
Answer 7 :
There is no partial bridge outage. One part of the collapse of the freeway (not the bridge) has been repaired. There's no problem getting into town (other than normal traffic); just follow the signs.
Answer 8 :
Take BART, the shuttle picks you up at the Oakland Airport and brings you to the Collesium BART Station, board the train to San Francisco and get off at Embarcadero or Montgomery and you are downtown, The fare is a reasonable $3.35 one way. Sure beats the traffic on the Bay Bridge and in San Francisco
