is caltrans. please accomplish your work and make sure it's safe. we're happy you did the work, but make sure it's safe to travel. >> lane confusion in contra costa county after a paving project on 8-80 left drivers without painted lanes. good evening, i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley. >> thanks for joining us. it's been an ongoing issue for months, and the mayor of hercules says it's simply dangerous. >> yeah. today he took abc seven news reporter luz pena to see the problem firsthand. and she joins us now with the story. you'll see only on seven. luis >> that's right. and we have new data that could support the claims that an incomplete freeway project is now endangering east bay drivers. it's a dangerous guessing game at 40mph. so this is supposed to have two lanes here. >> so here's hercules on ramp to westbound 80. no lines. >> this is the on ramp to westbound interstate 80 west in hercules as it merges with traffic coming off highway four. and right now, drivers are faced with imaginary lanes. >> they're supposed to be three

lanes. absolutely no lines at all. >> road with hercules mayor dan romero to see the problematic sections of i-80, where we found either no painted lanes beat up reflectors, or a temporary paint job, a really bad paint job doesn't look like a brand new project. here's some background from mid-july until september 5th, caltrans closed eastbound and westbound interstate 80 four different weekends to pave the freeway last year. >> in 2023, where we replaced a massive section of the freeway there with continuously reinforced concrete that contractors didn't get to. >> one major part of the project, painting the lanes. >> ideally, the striping is down right after the work is done. at least a temporary version, caltrans said. >> a temporary version was done, but it didn't last long. it's now been three months and according to the mayor of hercules, multiple accidents have happened. our.

news data team looked into california highway prol reports and preliminary data points to 16 car accidents on hercules highways. since caltrans finished paving the freeway, the main factor in those crashes has been improper turning. now, there's no clear way to know if, in fact, the lack of paint has led to those accidents. but mayor romero is sounding the alarm. >> it's a concern in the morning when the sun's reflecting, you don't see any lines. it's a concern when it rains and it's a concern at night. so so let's say more than half the time that the freeway is being used. a lot of residents and drivers cannot see the designated lines. >> caltrans acknowledges the issues and blames the contractor and. the weather. >> the contractor did not get out and complete the work that was assigned and we got into sort of the rainy season. and when the rainy season hits, then we struggle with keeping the striping up. >> now, caltrans confirmed their working on getting lanes painted in the coming days, but for now, drivers will need to continue

imagining those lanes. ama and dan loose. >> that is often so hard to see. >> extremely hard. >> yeah. all right. thanks. in sections of boeing 737 max, nine planes will take a bit longer than first expected. the planes were grounded after a piece of an alaska airlines jet came off mid-air as you've heard today, we're seeing new images of that door plug that flew off flight 1282 just minutes into a flight from portland to ontario. on friday, a portland teacher found the door plug in his backyard. the faa is now requiring all airlines to complete enhanced inspections of all door exit plugs and door components on these grounded planes today. on getting answers, abc news aviation analyst john nance explained why this process can't be rushed. >> we have to know what we're looking for, not just at the door is there and everything appears to be in good shape. and that's one of the reasons that the inspections have been delayed and not just completed one after another. today we

learned that inspectors have found loose bolts on door plugs on united airlines planes. >> the airline has canceled about 200 max nine flights and is expecting significant cancellations tomorrow as well. and of course, all of these inspections and cascading cancellations are being felt here in the bay area. abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley is live at sfo with the impact of all of this, leslie absolutely. >> dan, i just took a walk inside the united terminal here. it appears to me at least there are fewer cancellations on the board tonight than there were earlier today. but nationwide, 340 flights canceled today. uh- dozens upon dozens of those here at sfo. also a few canceled down in san jose and over at oakland airport out of sfo. flights to houston, chicago, l.a. and san diego were among the cancellations as passengers frantically tried to book new routes to their desired destination. this couple got a text last night saying their

alaska flight from san jose to oahu was canceled, and the value was deposited in an alaska wallet. they ended up today at the sfo united terminal on an alternate flight paid for out of pocket. >> i was being like, tricked, you know? and i wanted to use the credit for taking another ticket. uh- for today from alaska. and the price was, yes, it was double. it was double. they should have made it automatically refunding people's tickets, not really making you call them and waiting for 3.5 hours. not being able. i mean, i use the chat option, i use the phone option i use and nothing. >> passengers said they checked in and got their boarding pass only to later get a text saying the flight was canceled. but they understood. >> i'd rather be on a plane that's safe. i don't want to be sucked out in mid-air, but the friday night alaska flight on which the door plug blew out and oxygen masks dropped, has added a frightening new dimension to air travel for many who can't stop thinking about it as they

board flights today. >> i imagine sitting in that seat and having my infant and not being her, not being buckled in, she would have flown right out. so it's definitely terrifying to think about it. it's unlocked a new a new mom. fear united had 200 flight cancellations on monday. >> there were 140 on alaska air alaska said this morning. they got inspection details for the 737 max nine aircraft from the ntsb, but they're still waiting for additional instruction. details from the faa. in the meantime, they said, our technicians have prepared each aircraft to be immediately ready for the required inspection when instructed are finalized. united said they've started some preliminary inspections on their fleet of 737 max nine aircraft and confirmed they've already found loose bolts and other parts on some of the door plugs. certainly disturbing at this point to hear that. now those are just preliminary inspections

. the official inspections have yet to begin. what that means is that the cancellations are expected to continue until at least midweek. and. as we've heard from some passengers, it appears that notice of cancellations are coming just a few hours before flight time. reporting live at sfo. i'm leslie brinkley, abc seven news. >> all right, leslie, thank you. more flaring today at the chevron refinery in richmond. the flaring began just before noon today and wrapped up about an hour later. the flaring was a level one incident, which is the lowest reportable level. chevron is investigating, but authorities say there is no public health risk caused by the flaring. all right, let's turn to the weather now. >> and the rain on the way. here's a live look at the conditions right now for details on it. let's go to abc seven news meteorologist sandip patel. sandip. yeah. >> dan we're going to trade the chill for some wet weather and it's going to be here before you know it. tomorrow morning. let me show you live doppler seven. we are already tracking a light level one system that is moving in our direction as we time it

resources, especially as more cold temperatures are expected. >> opening warming centers. um, wednesday, thursday and friday across the county. so those outreach teams are also, um, getting the word out to folks. >> while the help and information being handed out this week is important, both county officials and advocates agree longer terme solutions have to be a focus. >> the long terme solutions that we are working on are expanding, um, permanent housing programs, developing affordable housing, um, expanding our homelessness prevention um services so that there are fewer people becoming homeless. um, in the first place, that would have to experience these risks. >> still, advocates don't think their work will end any time soon and plan to keep providing resources that are greatly appreciated by many. >> the feeling you get that people are willing to do this for you without knowing you, it's um, it touches you. amy in the south bay zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> here. coming up, new details about a store clerk who was shot and killed during a robbery in

and this is a way to say we are opening up the doors, developing the relationship, sharing with you one of our most valuable, precious assets to show respect, act and to build on that relationship. mayor breed says the zoo already has an asian conservation exhibit with room to build a panda reserve. people tell me if there were pandas here, they would come every week. >> i think it would be a great attraction for san francisco, like it would really increase the zoo's customers for sure. maybe even like if it was only panda in california or like on the west coast, like from other states too. >> tourism is a big reason why mayor breed is asking for this. she claims the zoo set visitor records when it briefly had pandas for a couple of months in the 1980s, and the city is familiar with panda fandom during the giants stretch of world series wins. pablo sandoval, aka the kung fu panda soft fans don special hats, appreciating the animal. mayor breed says san franciscans would love to see the real ones. i take this as an educational opportunity, a chance for people
