Local know-how
Two bridges to SFO
From Walnut Creek, SFO can be reached across the Bay Bridge or, going south first on I-680, across the San Mateo Bridge.
The Bay Bridge is shorter, but on weekday mornings the San Mateo route can be steadier; drivers check traffic before setting off.
For international flights we allow extra time either way.
