The Labor Day weekend is quickly approaching and if you’re planning on making a trip to San Francisco soon, you’ll be out of luck if you try to get there in a car. And just in case you haven’t taken a cue from the lit-up signs on every freeway or in the news, the Bay Bridge will be closed from 8 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. on Tuesday to insert a new earthquake-proof section.

None of this means that San Francisco will be entirely inaccessible. As a matter of fact, lots of more Eco-friendly alternatives will be in service for everyone to use.

BART will be running all through the weekend with trains arriving every hour after midnight at major stations (the schedule is posted on its website). Caltrans is planning to reimburse BART for running during those extra times.

According to the Contra Costa Times, the fourteen locations that will be open all night are Walnut Creek, Concord, Dublin/Pleasanton, El Cerrito del Norte, downtown Berkeley, MacArthur, Oakland City Center/12th Street, Oakland Coliseum/Airport, Bay Fair, San Francisco International Airport, Powell Street, Embarcadero, Daly City, and 24th Street/Mission.

The Alameda/Oakland ferry is also offering more trips between Alameda, Pier 39 and Jack London Square.
