not it will be able to strike the paint. here is a shot from the camera to show you they have already started the project in a way. they want to basically change the approach flying westbound, it is not a date deal for them. they have already done it, if it rains hard they will not be able to put the pain down because it will not last. in talking to a bar conference spokesperson, they say if there remains of an on, if there remained -- if there rain remains of and on, they can start the project but it remains heavily, they will have to push certain things back but at least get the heavy lifting dead. we should know later today maybe this afternoon hopefully within the next couple of hours if this project gets the green light or not. >>mark: let's go to james

way of slow traffic on the approach it we do not know that the metering lights have been activated but there is a report of a crash on the bay bridge westbound. we will be judged yet pretty closely to rid their could be lanes blocked with a number of vehicles involved. there is a with adviser for the bay bridge westbound. of the san mateo bridge that was an early warning with advisory that was canceled although we do see some shaking of the camera from time to time. it would advisory in effect for the dumbarton. the golden gate is a problem free. southbound, there are no delays. on highway 80 as you head down to the toll plaza that is still a small then the easy ride with no delays. >>mark: a developing story we have been falling, the search for more human remains continues in san joaquin valley with investigators focusing on the search as hundreds of

human remains have already been discovered in what appears to be a mass grave. it is believed that this site was used by two men but none as the speed freak killers. they killed or the what does of people in the '80s is '90s. more the 1000 bullet fragments have been discovered from locations in linden and calaveras county. among remains recovered were body parts of two women who disappeared in 1985 and 1998. according to the fbi, the body of mckayla garrett who disappeared 1980 from hayward could be in there as well. serial killer wesley in the farmington has said that he and herzog recall this be true killers because they committed their killings while high on methamphetamines. herzog committed suicide last month.

strong incentive to get it done. they will get a $5 million bonus if they get it done in time and a $20 million penalty, up to that much if they did not get it done in time. that is 6 million for every 49ers david davis. mobil was the city council sliding off on getting it all done. with at of the financing in place that has definitely propelled things ahead. the materials you see here will someday be the basis for the stadium once it is completed. >>mark: that means only two more seasons for the 49ers at candlestick park. >>george: and interstate 580 westbound, there was a multi vehicle injury accident. pretty serious injuries
