between. if you're coming from the cordelia area and heading south to the benicia bridge, plan on a delay, maybe take the long way around and stick to 780 instead. a quick check of oakland. weologist have road work with a full closure of southbound 880 between 23rd and 29th. they should be done in less than 15 minutes, but if you're traveling through southbound 880 through the east bay, plan on a 10 to 15-minute delay. if you want to play it safe and you're not in a big rig, you can use eastbound 580. that's wide open right now. we'll look at pretty light drive times in a few minute. >> thanks. happening today, the beginning of the commercial salmon fishing season. a season that has some low expectations. right now, there are historically low numbers of adult chinook salmon in the river. they also say el nino affected ocean food sources. the take has been so poor, fishing groups plan to ask the governor to declare a disaster so they can seek federal aid. >> alameda county community food
