to a lot of frustrated travelers who were stuck in the backup earlier today. >> so i was like, man, why did they pick the holiday to close the bridge? >> elvis young from vallejo made a donut run to walnut creek in his yellow pontiac convertible, but got stuck in the same backup he was trying to avoid. >> i wanted some krispy kremes yesterday, so i'm like, i just had to go out there and it was all traffic westbound. >> i-80 has been closed since friday between vallejo and hercules. so caltrans can repave a four mile stretch of the road overnight at fresh concrete was poured. >> now we're playing the waiting game, waiting for that concrete to definitely cure to get to that strength, these hefty detours around the closure are in place. >> but by early monday afternoon, the mega backup began. the 680. cordelia junction near fairfield, was slow and go and highway 37 was like a parking lot. >> a lot of angry drivers out there. daniel diaz was trying to get to work. it takes 45 minutes

to get to work on a usual seven minute drive. so we're headed back to san francisco. >> so now we have to go through the martinez. >> many drivers asking why caltrans chose labor day weekend for a major closure. officials say typically traffic patterns are lower. >> what we decided is like, let's be efficient with our resources. let's compress over 106 night days of work into just four days of work. >> yeah, that is a lot of work. and, you know, originally caltrans had told us that the road would not reopen until 5 a.m. tomorrow. so certainly a lot of good news. this 24 hour effort certainly paid off for caltrans and for a lot of drivers out here, too. live in vallejo, cornell bernard, abc seven news. >> all right. so cornell, how are they able to finish the job almost 11 hours early? that's my question, right? >> yeah, i was very surprised when i got a phone call about

three hours ago. hey, we're going to reopen the road a lot earlier, almost 11 hours earlier. so they had a 25 hour team going, going full bore, really. and they say one of the biggest helpers today was the sun super warm up here today. and it helped cure the concrete, we're told. and it allowed for restriping of the lanes to happen. and sure enough, they said it looks like we're done in time to reopen. >> all right. sounds good. i bet people are loving it. thank you, cornell. let's take a live look at san francisco international airport, where as of now, flights are running on time with no major delays. tsa reports more than 2.7 million passengers pass through checkpoints nationwide this weekend, making it the busiest labor day weekend for airline travel since 2019. all right. as cornell mentioned, the sun seemed to help a lot. a lot of us are seeing sunny skies for labor day. >> yeah, finally, abc7 news weather anchor spencer christian joins us. spencer this weekend. you said it was going to get

better. so what's what can we look forward to ahead this weekend as you know was cloudier and cooler than you would expect. >> so that weekend felt like a week didn't it? it's sunny or now. as you can see from this view, from mt. tam, looking down onto the bay. and these are our forecast headlines, which i hope will make you happy. low clouds, of course, expanding overnight near the coast and bay, but gradual warming trend will be with us over the next several days and it'll really get warmer in our inland areas by the weekend. so right now, we're looking at the 24 hour temperature change. look at conditions inland right now. anywhere from five to about ten degrees warmer in inland locations than at this time yesterday. so we're looking at upper 70s to some low and mid 80s right now. and as we look a little bit farther into the forecast future, tomorrow we'll see some mid to upper 80s on wednesday, similar picture, thursday, a similar picture and it's going to get even warmer after that. so i'll have the full accuweather seven day forecast at a sunny and warm one coming up a little bit later. >> all right, spencer, thank you so much. now to developing news , the debacle of this year's

burning man. the muddy path out of black rock city is now dry enough for organizers to give the okay this afternoon for vehicles to leave campers are being warned not to try to walk out of the area and to even consider waiting until tomorrow. there's been one death at the festival, happened on friday. the victim is 32 year old leon reese. it's not clear if his death was connected to the storm, but the pershing county, nevada, sheriff's office says the rain did delay first responders. an autopsy will determine the cause of death. now despite the issues, organizers are still hoping to resume the festival tonight for those who choose to stay, weather permitting, the man will be burned at 9 p.m. the temple burn is set for tomorrow night. the annual counterculture festival draws thousands to black rock city in the nevada desert for artistic performances. music and, of course, a lot of partying. but rain turned the playa into a mud pit, and we have team coverage on the situation from several perspectives. abc seven news reporter louis pena looks into what makes the desert dust and mud potentially dangerous.

>> but first let's hear from abc7 news reporter j.r stone. he's in sparks, nevada, where burners are showing up. j.r. what are they telling you? >> well, most of them are downplaying the mud situation, saying that if you listen to the officials and you didn't move your rv on saturday or sunday, then you are in pretty good shape. however, that being said , i have seen a lot of mud today and i have heard a lot of stories about mud today, an electric bike stuck in the mud. this is what it looked like on saturday morning at burning man . >> i'm sure you don't want to help me get the. >> and this is what those attending the festival referred to as burners were dealing with monday. some of the muddiest shoes that you may have ever seen cleaning them the best they can at one of the popular spots. for those leaving the festival, the in and out burger in sparks, nevada, where you can see dirt scattered on the ground in the

parking lot. >> it's super heavy. we it feels like 5 pounds on each leg. if not more. we had to put a trash bags on the shoes in order for us to not, you know, sink into them. it looks like trash bag and then duct tape. yeah. >> everyone focused on getting that mud off of their shoes. mud that seems to be all over everything but mud that symbolizes what they went through. the cold gets says they were on the opposite side of the camp at black rock city when the rain started friday. >> we left the bikes there. we didn't even take them back because of the mud. we couldn't get there. we couldn't get to take them back. so we have no bikes. >> it took them 24 hours to get back to their rv. they ate food and found shelter with new friends. on the way back, festival organizers warned burners not to leave saturday or sunday due to the conditions after the rain, telling festival goers to conserve food, water and gasoline get says they did unsuccessfully attempt to leave.

>> we tried to leave two days ago. it was impossible. we tried to leave yesterday. we got stuck in the mud. and then today's good people helped us and we are out. >> yes, out. and in route back to southern california for this group and back to other locations across the country. and world. for those we talked with, not one person we interviewed said they wouldn't do it all over again. even with the rain and mud, saying it made things that much more special, that includes nicole, who gave us this video of what their party looked like saturday night after the rain. after all of that, would you go back? yes yes, yes. >> yeah. on friday, a little hesitation. >> no, it's my first burn. >> so. yeah no, no. yeah. yes. yeah. yesterday i said no, i'm not going back. it was enough. but it's still a good, good, like, nice way to enjoy life, you know, for a week and back

out here live in sparks, nevada . >> this is arguably this in-n-out burger is one of the busiest post burner spots or post burning man spots at that. with so many who just went to the festival coming here. and a lot of that dirt is now outside because a lot of that mud dried up in the daytime hours. boy, i met folks from ibiza, the uk, really anywhere you can think of toronto. and it was pretty special hearing their stories about how everyone came together during that rough weather. reporting live in sparks, nevada. j.r stone, abc seven news. >> yeah, they're all going to have quite a story to tell. thanks j.r. >> and all that mud is raising health concerns for the thousands exposed to it at burning man. it increases the risk of skin infections. as abc seven news reporter loose pena spoke to an infectious disease expert about that loose. >> yes. and there were approximately 64,000 people on site as of this afternoon, according to burning man's website. many have been trying to leave, but the roads are packed. the number one

suggestion by one infectious diseases doctor is clean up the mud. as soon as possible. the exodus has begun. thousands thousands begin to leave black rock desert in nevada, where burning man takes place. one of them is san francisco resident matt schuster. the highway outside of the event is, you know, it's like a one lane highway. >> so they have to pull cars out . you know, they can't just kind of like let them all out at once, he began to drive this morning and is still stuck in traffic. >> when we spoke to him yesterday, he was waiting for the organizers to lift the driving ban as the desert floor or playa as burners call it, turned into mud. this following heavy rainfall uh- everybody's shoes are covered in mud and maybe the bottom of your pants in some situations means that mud is what's concerning. ucsf infectious diseases. dr. monica gandhi in mud and dust. >> there's actually a bunch of organisms that sit in our soil

in california, nevada. we tend to have the same dry conditions and the same kind of soil organisms. and if you really drag yourself through the mud like at the tough mudder competition in sonoma last month, you and if you especially if you have skin abrasions, you can get skin and soft tissue infections or cellulitis from those soil organisms. >> less exposure to mud in these conditions is key to avoiding infection, according to dr. gandhi. >> i would say do not be covered with mud for more than two days because you really can get those organisms crawling in and causing skin infections. >> burning man organizer are reporting conditions improving and urging burners to stay on hard packed roads and out of standing water. dr. gandhi suggests cleaning off the mud with water as soon as possible. >> there's always going to be inconveniences of climate and weather, and people choose to go there and luckily, we haven't heard about any major outbreaks of anything. and that's the relief because i was more

worried about the skin infections with the mud. >> and according to schuster, burning man organizers have been great at checking in on people on their website. the festival is encouraging burners to delay their departure until tuesday to alleviate large amounts of congestion. and despite these conditions, no outbreaks of any kind have been reported as of yet in the newsroom. louis pena, abc seven news. all right. >> that is good to hear. thank you so much louis. coming up on abc seven news at six celebrating hiero day in oakland. >> the music the fun and the festivities. also ahead. hey now you're an all star. >> get your game on. go play. >> remembering steve harwell, the original lead singer of smash mouth and the bay area

locations near the coast in bay than yesterday at this time. however, in our inland areas, it is quite a bit warmer, 4 to 10 degrees warmer in some of those spots than at this time yesterday evening. here's a view from sutro tower looking out over san francisco skies are mainly blue right now, but you see some little hint of a wisp of some low clouds beginning to push out over the city right now. current temperature readings are mid 60s in san francisco. in oakland, we have low 70s at mountain view, san jose and palo alto, 61 at half moon bay. clear skies at the golden gate right now. that may not last long as we do expect a marine layer to build tonight, but right now it's bright and breezy at the golden gate, 77 degrees at novato, santa rosa and livermore 80 degrees at fairfield. and on we go to santa cruz beach where apparently it's warm enough for folks to turn out and enjoy the sun and the sand. and these are our forecast headlines. low clouds will expand near the coast and bay overnight. a gradual warming trend will be with us for the next several days. and it will really be heating up inland over

the weekend. but right now, we're looking at the forecast animation taking us through the overnight hours. so we will see a developing and excuse me, developing marine layer a little bit deeper than last night near the coast. and bay, it won't push very far inland, but some of those clouds will be with us in the early morning hours before they burn back to the coastline tomorrow, giving us another mainly sunny day overnight, low temperatures will be mainly in the mid to upper 50s highs tomorrow, 60 three half moon bay, 68 here in san francisco, most locations around the bay shoreline will warm up to mid to upper 70s up in the north bay. look for highs of 78 at napa, 85. santa rosa a little bit warmer farther north, 91 at ukiah, inland east bay will be mainly in the mid 80 s tomorrow, 86 at antioch, livermore and concord over to fairfield, we expect a high of 90 tomorrow and down in the south bay, look for highs of 81 at san jose, 84 at morgan hill and here is the accuweather seven day forecast. now there won't be much variation in the high temperature range through friday. so inland highs

basically about 86 to 88 degrees around the bay shoreline. we're looking at mid 70s, about 74, 76 degrees. it warms up a bit more on saturday to a more seasonal range. and sunday and monday, we're looking at mid 90s inland and low 80s around the bay shoreline. lovely week ahead. >> yeah. yeah >> and that's perfect for the big event hapning this weekend. right. thank you spencer. okay. a reminder that and pride takes place this sunday. abc seven is a proudspor zach fuentes and nasser hassan as they bring you the parade live that is starting at 11 a.m. and coming up next, the new place and new plans to restart san francisco's oldest drag

marriage has impacted the job. >> what do you mean? >> i like the sociological experiment of it all. a married couple working, working in front of a live audience made up of fans who on this day stayed to hear our interview. there are times we have discussed options that we would ordinary have at home, but there's safety in saying it in front of an audience of people and so we're more willing to discuss things in front of the all of the witnesses ahead lies the first full season of the show with mark as co-host. >> the ratings have been great. people have loved him. we've had great feedback, but now we're leaning into it even further. we've got all kinds of fun things going on this new season. he's going to really even take more control of our trivia game . >> the trivia game plays to mark's competitive nature, where you're correct. >> if i'm walking on the street next to somebody, we're racing

on the sidewalk. you know, if i'm on the sidewalk, i'm racing someone. it's just the way i'm built. so i said, well, what what a better way to feed my competitive spirit. >> and speaking of competition, live begins the new season at number one. >> we're not just the number one show in daytime. we're the number one show at all times. daytime, nighttime, all the time. i'm sandy kenyon, abc7 news. and the new season of live with kelly and mark premieres tomorrow. >> you can watch it every weekday at 9 a.m. right here on abc seven as we continue our effort to building a better bay area city leaders have partnered with a renowned chef to bring business to san francisco's downtown area. chef tyler florence will sign a three year lease with the recreation and park department to open two cafes on union square's plaza. both will be called miller and lux provisions, one located on stockton street and the other on powell street. city leaders say this will help san francisco's post-pandemic economy.

>> our neighborhoods are booming, but our downtown has a 31% office vacancy rate, and that is really going to take a while to chip away at both cafes will open in a few weeks. >> happening tomorrow let's make is easy to pick what's for dinner. it's national cheese pizza day. it's observed every year on september 5th. >> and cheese pizza doesn't have to just mean mozzarella. you could try gouda gorgonzola. hey, how about cheddar? hmm. interesting. and parmesan for some different flavors. >> i'll take all the cheeses, wine lovers you might want to cover your ears. apparently, france has too much wine. it's destroying 80 million gallons because no one wants to drink it. the washington post has a whole write up saying making wine is getting more expensive and people are drinking less of it. so france agriculture department is paying farmers to destroy it. the alcohol from the excess wine will be used to make cleaning supplies or perfume. i know spencer does not want to

hear that. i think spencer would volunteer himself to help out. >> is it over yet? it is. spencer, send me that wine. >> oh, well, it'll be good for the eco systems, i guess. here's a look at what's happening with our weather. we'll start with the forecast animation. 9:00 tonight. overnight, we'll see the low clouds expand locally across the bay and all along the coastline. it won't move very far inland, though. so from 7 a.m. to about 10 a.m. tomorrow, we'll see that low cloudiness. the marine layer pull back to the coastline, giving us another sunny day. so overnight, look for low temperatures mainly in the mid to upper 50s. tomorrow's highs will range from low and mid 60s at the coast to mid 70s around the bay shoreline to mid and upper 80s inland. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast all the way through friday. we can expect inland highs between about 86 and 88 degrees on saturday. it starts to warm up by a few degrees on sunday and monday it gets really warm inland, especially with mid seconds. the highs low 80s around the bay shoreline and mid to upper 60s on the coast. looks

like a really nice mild to warm to almost hot week ahead. >> okay. and we have the oakland pride parade coming up. so great weather for that for that. thank you, spencer. okay. all right. larry beals here with sports. >> i mean, it's already september 4th, larry. >> don't blame me for not signing. i mean, i'll get my wallet out. i'll actually i'll get spencer's wallet. oh, that's really hefty. oh, where oh, where is nick bosa? where are. where could he be? 40 niners star holding out. as alma said, season just days away. what do his teammates think about this contract

lowering cholesterol can be hard. diets and exercise add to the struggle. today, it's possible to go from struggle to cholesterol success with leqvio. with a statin,

leqvio is proven to lower bad cholesterol by over 50% and keep it low with two doses a year. common side effects were injection site reaction, joint pain, urinary tract infection, diarrhea, chest cold, pain in legs or arms, and shortness of breath. ask your doctor about twice-yearly leqvio. lower. longer. leqvio. ♪ i dreamt you didn't cashback this flight. oh good. you got another mask? are you the ceo of cashbacking? no, you're not. earn big with chase freedom unlimited. how do you cashback?

defensive end nick bosa, who is holding out actually, that wasn't him there, but he was in the shot anyway. if bosa doesn't sign in the next couple of days, it's hard to imagine him suiting up in the opener. if the 40

niners are going to be super bowl contenders, they obviously need bosa on the field. ben reports that bosa and the niners are a few million dollars apart. so now it's a question. who's going to blink first here, right? either way, it'll be a massive deal. we're thinking in excess of 100 million bucks. niners have never guaranteed more than $58 million in any deal. so that could be one of the hang ups boasts 40 niners teammates understand the business side but they just can't wait to have him back. >> when you have these opportunities, man, you got to do what's best for yourself and you know, your family and things like that. obviously having a guy like nick on the field with us is huge. i mean, he's the best defensive player in the national football league, one of the best players in the league. so having him here is a huge, huge benefit man. i think all 31 teams would agree with that. but right now, man, we just got to focus. and, you know, whenever he show up, man, we know he going to be who he is. i mean, we don't really look at it and say we're missing somebody or i mean, i've been out, so i don't you don't really look at it and say, you've been missing somebody. >> you just next man up and you just play ball. >> a guy like nick bosa that

allows for a game changing plays and so we don't know how many of those game changing plays that we would make, but hopefully we can fill those in. if he's not here in his absence. but a guy like nick, he adds to that. once he's here, it'll be nice. they need him soon. >> the giants, they're just circling the drain right now. they've lost four in a row, scoring a grand total of four runs in those games. one run in a game, not going to get it done in big wild card battle in chicago. on labor day. yeah, he's doing the limbo under the flag there. bottom two. seiya suzuki starts the scoring with a solo homer off of logan webb to make it one nothing cubs. and already if you're a giants fan, you're going, oh, no. oh they scored a run. justin steele was cooking. austin slater, patrick bailey and then yaz and wilmer flores. it's like the giants are up there and they're swinging toothpicks. steele struck out 12 over eight innings, allowed only two hits. bottom eight cubs with insurance. dansby swanson to left. mitch haniger no. ex giant. mike tuchman scores cubs win five zip giants now a game

out of the final wild card spot. how about the a's and the jays? dad gives his son a foul ball. oh, he was threw it away. nice save, pops. oakland riding an uncanny three game winning streak for them. jordan diaz solo homer in the seventh to tie this game at three bottom nine a's winning run a third shea langeliers not bandoliers it's pop up clears to first and we go on to extras cavan biggio rbi single. the jays tally three runs in the 10th. the a's had a rally of their own, but fall six five. so now on this bozo thing, we don't know exactly what the issue is. however over. his brother had a holdout with the chargers a few years ago. his brother got $78 million in guaranteed money. wow. the 49 ers gave debo 58 in guaranteed money. 20 million is a significant gap and they're represented by the same agents. we're obviously because they're brothers. and so that could

easily be part of the problem here. because if you don't have to pay 78 million guaranteed, you don't pay 78. but they may have to in this case because nick bosa, is that important? >> yeah, it's a lot of money. >> it's yes, it is. >> yes. all right. thank you, larry. all right. coming up tonight on abc seven at 8:00, it's three hours of celebrity family feud. and then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. remember the abc seven news is streaming 24/7. get the abc7 bay area app. so you can join us whenever you want, wherever you are. that'll do it for this edition of abc seven news. thanks for joining us. i'm ama daetz. i'm karina nova for spencer christian, larry beale and the entire abc seven news team. we hope you have a great night.
