BART Service Resumes After Track Damage Halts Transbay Trains for Hours

NBC Universal, Inc.

BART officials Friday morning reported major delays systemwide and halted transbay service for hours as crews repaired damaged tracks in downtown Oakland.

Officials reported Friday at 5:43 a.m. there was no Red Line or Green Line BART service.

By 7 a.m., officials reported limited service was restored as follows: Red, Yellow and Orange Line service was fully restored, the Blue line will be Dublin to Bay Fair and Daly City to MacArthur; and Green line trains will be canceled until repairs are completed (take the orange line).

By about 8:20 a.m., BART said train service was restored to all lines and it was recovering from major delays.

Earlier, officials reported BART was temporarily suspending transbay service due to the emergency track repairs.

Officials are recommending riders seek alternate transportation if they need to travel across the San Francisco Bay.

Officials said AC transit is providing bus service to San Francisco on bus NL from 19th Street and Broadway in Oakland.

Crews were working to repair a damaged section of the third rail of the track in an underground section in downtown Oakland.

BART has not released information on when the track repairs would be completed or when normal service would resume.
