Lovely. I have had the “pleasure” of driving on the Bay Bridge
many times during visits to my cousin in Oakland, three times in
the past 5 years.
It's all in the timing. :-)
Was the new Eastern Span open when you were last there? Doesn't make
the traffic any better, but a much more scenic trip.
We seldom visit The City for exactly the reason of traffic (and
parking). We were over on that side a few weeks ago when traffic
heading home didn't start to clear up until after 8:30 pm. Madness!
Thank goodness for Google maps and other traffic info. We could
check, see that the bridge approaches were still red, have another
beer and chat longer with the kids.
The latest development is trouble returning from Marin. Late
afternoon/evening traffic heading East via the San Rafael bridge can
back up all the way up the 580 connector to 101 and into Larkspur on
Sir Francis Drake. If we are going over there, as with the trip I
posted images from recently, we simply plan on having dinner there
before heading home.
