the bad traffic because of this super bowl city. in order to build this they had to shut down major roads in downtown including a stretch of the embarcadero behind me in order to get this thing built. >> reporter: building a city within a city isn't easy. constructing super bowl city is his job for the next week. >> there's so much going on that it's hard to keep up with everything around here. >> reporter: when this sprawling complex opened saturday, organizers promised it will celebrate the bay area's culture from local food to wine, even high tech interactive gaming for kids and adults, the event will show that the bay can truly put on a performance. >> it's so fun. i'm so excited. i can't wait for it. >> reporter: not everyone is so pumped. with many of the streets around super bowl city shut down for the first time this weekend, drivers are getting anxious this will be the new normal for weeks. >> san francisco by its nature

is very crazy when you're driving around. the worst thing was getting stuck the last couple of days. >> it's definitely different from new york. i'm from new york. >> is it worse than new york? >> yes, i think this traffic is worse than new york. new york you get it every now and then. here it's very constant. >> reporter: city officials have sounded the alarm from now to the super bowl. ditch the car and take a bike, walk, or public transit. >> adding extra service to the transit especially at night. >> reporter: if you're getting to super bowl city from across the bay, ferry service will be doubled. >> it's supposed to be real bad so i think we'll definitely be commuting on the boat. >> so they had been designing super bowl city for two and a half years now. it hopes this saturday. 11 a.m. to the public and this is the best part. it's all free. >> so i'm curious, what's going on and behind you right now? >> they've been working on this all day. they call it the

verizon access zone. it's going to be an interactive fan experience with the football game. and it will be up and ready to go by this saturday. >> thank you, mark. i'm sandra osborne in the cbs traffic center. the big game on its way. san francisco, we're going to see some major impacts as we gear up for all those celebrations. if you're driving yourself as opposed to taking public transportation, there are four main streets closing. market street. beale, main, speer between market and howard. and then howard between 3rd and 4th street. something else you need to know, there's no event parking for any of these events happening in the downtown san francisco area so they're encouraging you to find another way to move around whether it be walking, taking a

bicycle or public transportation. here's the thing, buses and trains are going to have reroutes as well. for all the details on that you can head to our website, cbssf.com/superbowl. the super bowl excitement is just beginning. coming up tomorrow night join ken bastida and jennifer montana for our super bowl special, countdown to gold. jen montana stops by to weigh in on the two teams headed to the super bowl. that's at 7:00 here on kpix 5. we have new details tonight on the daring prison escape by some inmates in southern california. it's starting to sound like something you'd expect from a hollywood movie. the three men used tools to cut through steel bars then they used makeshift ropes to bust out of the orange county jail. the sheriff's department had a simple explanation as to how they pulled it off. >> all i can tell you is at least two of the inmates have been in custody for quite some time and again, with a lot of time on their hands and a

custody setting, i can't give you an exact timeframe but i can tell you they have a lot of time to work on things like that. >> there's a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. the inmates were convicted of violent crimes including torture and murder. they're considered armed and dangerous. millions of americans are digging through piles of snow after a mammoth blizzard hit the east coast. in pittsburgh 20 trucks are still stuck on the pennsylvania turnpike. they're among hundreds of vehicles stranded miles of roads over the weekend. at least 28 deaths have been blamed on the weather and 12,000 weekend flights canceled. craig boswell joins us from washington, d.c., another city dealing with this paralyzing snowfall. >> good evening to you. the dc region got a major helping hand today when more than 400 snow plows and trucks came streaming in to the city and immediately got to work. that

more than tripled the amount of equipment included in this cleanup. >> reporter: the east coast is bouncing back from a weekend blizzard that dumped nearly 3 feet of snow in some places. washington, d.c. was hit with two feet of snow, enough to keep area schools closed monday. >> we're still operating under an emergency in the district. >> reporter: a convoy of trucks helped get the nation's capital moving again. >> the whole city is a priority. >> reporter: a parking lot at rfk stadium became the nerve center of the snow removal operation. this is where all those trucks are dumping a majority of the snow that covered washington, d.c. >> we're bringing about 450 pieces of equipment from outside of dc. >> reporter: philadelphians welcomed the city's fourth biggest storm by sledding down hills at the art museum. >> the city will be open for business tomorrow. >> reporter: new york city officials say the epic nor'easter missed setting a new record for total snowfall by a 10th of an inch. residents have been warned to keep their cars

officials say the storm is to blame for at least three in the city who died shoveling snow. alaska jolted by a major earthquake. the resulting explosion that destroyed several homes and forced the evacuation of an entire neighborhood. >> the original first phase of the high speed rail project could be scrapped. the change some are calling a game changing win for the bay area.

a natural gas explosion following a major ea aska. four homes have been destroyed in a natural gas explosion following a major earthquake in alaska. the 7.1 tumbler busted the pipe in the city of keni causing the blast. firefighters worked to keep the fire from spreading. amazingly no one was hurt. the quake struck at about 1:30 a.m. alaska time. that was centered about 50 miles west of anchor point in the peninsula. that's about 160 miles southwest of anchorage. the quake was largely felt in anchorage where it knocked down items from grocery store shelves. as many as 5,000 homes are without power. state officials say this is the largest earthquake to hit this part of alaska in decades. changes could be coming to

the original plan for the high speed rail project. the first segment of track laid down could be coming to the bay area. kpix 5's anne makovec tells us why. >> the project is already over budget and behind schedule. this change in the plan could be a hail mary to allow high speed rail to gain some steam. >> reporter: california high speed rail officials are now considering san jose to bakersfield as the first major stretch for service. that would mean scrapping the current plan that calls for an initial track between burbank and the central valley. the san jose to bakersfield segment would be less costly because it would not involve expensive tunnels. the bullet train is already a $68 billion project. voters approved it in 2008 with a $9 billion bond. the goal to take passengers between san francisco and l.a. in two hours and 40 minutes. the first construction began in the fresno area in

july, more than two years behind schedule. >> we'll know just how practical this new plan is in a few weeks. that's when the state will unveil its new business plan for the project. that will be the most comprehensive update we've gotten in four years. anne makovec, kpix 5. >> here's a live look over levi's stadium. partly cloudy skies. mostly dry and mild. ,,,,,,,,,,

it's time to give up. >> i hope to be the nominee. i think donald trump would be a disaster as a nominee because he's not a conservative. ted cruz is certainly a conservative. he doesn't have a record. the clinton machine will be tough to beat. >> let's build on what we have. we have been moving in our nation thankfully in a positive progressive direction. maybe not as fast as some hope. but we keep moving forward. >> hillary clinton is also busy campaigning in iowa. she's in a tight race with senator bernie sanders for the democratic nomination. the huge blizzard in the east sacked a building belonging to the washington redskins. it doesn't look like much with all this snow but ineeth all that is the inflatable roof. the team says it will reinflate it once all the snow is cleared.

great example of what this entire season has been like. it hasn't been easy. >> i wish that 2-point play would have been different. i'm sure everyone can look at different plays throughout the game when it's that close and say man, i wish i had made that play. we certainly fought to the end. >> no homecoming for tom brady. the spurs are known for resting their players throughout the regular season. were the warriors surprised to hear tim duncan will not play tomorrow night? >> no, i'm not surprised. i'm surprised more people aren't sitting. >> tim is 57 years old so he deserves a night off every once in a while. [ laughter ] >> they were teammates over a decade ago. tomorrow night, there's plenty of hype surrounding the game. the two teams have a combined record of 78-10 this season. >> it takes on a little bit more maybe competitiveness or a little bit more fire in the belly i would imagine. it makes you stand up and take notice a little bit more because you

don't want to walk in there get your fanny hand today you. >> you have to overcome a special part of intimidation of the experience. >> really? [ laughter ] >> i don't think our guys are intimidated by anybody. i would hope not. we just hung a banner last year. we're okay. we're not bad ourselves. >> i would say so. hard to believe but spring training is right around the corner. the as were back together today for fan test at the coliseum. the team will report to arizona next month and designated hitter billy butler will be ready after the work he's put in at home this offseason. >> my 3-year-old, now that we have, is in the process where she doesn't want you to change her diaper. first off i have to catch her running from me and most of the time she's fighting from couch, she's trying to stay between me and the couch. the process of changing a diaper is when i get to the diaper, it's

quick. but getting to change the diaper is the fun part. the cal women trying to stop a four-game slide at usc. 3rd quarter, trojans up 4. bears freshman christine enigway. alex lloyd buries the 3. 19-5 run. they win 67 -- they win 61-47. pga in palm springs where it was a tough climb up the leader board for some players. par 3, 17. jason dufner in the rocks needs a par to stay tied for 1st. here nearly holds it for a birdie. he remains tied for the ling with david lingmer. his second shot goes off the rocks in to the water and that opened the door for dufner to win his first tournament since winning the pga championship in
