It actually took almost 4 hours. The last cars crossed at 9 PM.
Took someone I know 1 hour and 45 minutes to get in this morning. That included getting a ride to a nearby BART station, changing trains and walking 6-7 blocks (she works next to the Bridge in SF, in fact a block from Chef Jim's house). The winds have been high, so the crews haven't been up there to work on it. The repairs are about 120 feet above the roadway and he winds have been about 20 mph with gusts to 30.
The alternatives are :
1) to take the BART
2) drive up to Richmond, across the Richmond San Rafael Bridge, down through Marin County (past San Quentin) and then over the Golden Gate Bridge into SF or
3) Down the east bay to the San Mateo Bridge (at least 15 miles), across the Bridge (10 miles) and back up the Peninsula to SF
