to get to treasure island today to watch it.le we talked to said it took them an hour 45 minutes to get to treasure island from the east bay, mostly berkeley. a trip that would normally take them only 15, 20 minutes, but most people say they knew well ahead of time about the closure and they packed their patience for the ride. different drivers had different ways to deal with the delays. >> people were trying to figure out different ways without having any road rage. >> i wanted to go b.a.r.t., but i wanted to go eastbound home from the game. so i drove the san mateo bridge and it wasn't bad at all. >> i knew i wanted to come to the game on saturday. i knew the bridge was going to be closed westbound at the toll booth. is a i went into the city and stayed the night and came back eastbound this way, you can still drive westbound from treasure island. i figure it's a win-win, right? >> this is cal's only rugby game on treasure island. when it was scheduled, the school did not know it would be on the weekend of the bay bridge closu
