Full Closure Of Posey Tube

ALAMEDA, CA — One lane of the Posey Tube has been closed since Friday night because of a sinkhole in Oakland, as the City of Alameda announced on Saturday and Patch shared on Facebook. The sinkhole was caused by a storm drain.

Both lanes are now closed for repairs. This closure is expected to last until midnight.

Furthermore, the City of Oakland is advising that full or partial closures are likely to last through the week and could be impacted by the rain that's expected.

The City of Alameda is recommending the following alternatives to driving:

• Work at home/telecommute if your employer allows it to avoid the increased delays
• If you commute to/from San Francisco, consider taking the ferry, especially the Main Street ferry, which has more parking and capacity on the boats than the Harbor Bay ferry (schedule)
• If you commute to/from South San Francisco, consider taking the ferry to/from South San Francisco from the Main Street ferry terminal (schedule)
• If bicycling, Fruitvale Avenue in Oakland has bike lanes to/from the Fruitvale BART station, and bike valet parking exists at Fruitvale BART
• Take an AC Transit bus
