Figure on More BART Delays Next Weekend
Construction work continues on trans-bay tube.
It may take some BART riders a little longer to cross San Francisco Bay next weekend.
BART officials say the delays will occur as transit crews shut down one of two tracks in the Transbay Tube to perform maintenance and repair work to electric cables. The work started on the Memorial Day weekend and continues on June 4 and 5.
San Francisco trains coming from or going toward Richmond or Pittsburg/Bay Point are expected to have delays of five to 10 minutes.
