good morning. let's get a check of the richmond/san rafael bridge once again. it is moving much better now at least on the approach that it has been all morning. i know it still looks slow but for a while it's backed up all the way to marina bay parkway. northbound 101 unfortunately still a headache for drivers. there's been a crash at santa clara approaching great america parkway. and it's solid all the from capitol expressway. so 280 is a better bet. san mateo bridge slow on westbound 92. the bay bridge is backed up east of the maze so we haven't seen any "friday light" traffic here heading into san francisco. the eastshore freeway is up to 32 minutes from the carquinez bridge to the maze.
