continuing work on a cracked bale on the portion of the san mateo bridge. let's take a live look at the san mateo bridge right now. this is from the toll plaza. three west bound lanes are shut down and crews expect the closure to stay in effect this afternoon. workers are installing steel plates to reinforce the beams. that beam is designed to let the bridge move safely side to side in the case of an earthquake. inspectors found the crack wednesday during a routine check that they carry out every two years. crews started working this morning on a gas pipeline in a hillsboro neighborhood. residents there are being warned, if they hear lot noises or smell gas as that work will continue today. pg&e was concerned about the natural gas supply this winter. jade hernandez joins us now live from hillsboro with more on what's going on with that

work. good afternoon, jade. >> good afternoon. the san bruno explosion left the pe nips la vulnerable. as winter approaches, the need for heat will only grow but with one less access pipeline. you can see the crews here working at a line similar to that so they can reconnect the two lines to replace the one lost in the explosion. it was an eerie similarity because both operated at the same pressure. 4752475 once per inch. the san bruno line was operating 11 pounds over the operating maximum. what you are looking at today is pg&e pushing out gas from the pipeline in order to clear it out. crews will purple the line and go to work reconnecting the

pipeline to another line so that pg&e has ample supply of natural gas for the upcoming months. this is unusual but a necessary move for the gas company after the san bruno explosion which damaged a similar gas line. line 109 is continuing. line 132 was stopped. what we're going to do, interconnect those two lines so we can add additional gas into 109 to serve our customers north of that point. >> reporter: drivers passing through the hillsboro near the 280 rest stop may see pg&e crews working all day. neighbors behind this area started smell the odor some time after 9:30. pg&e suspects about 400 households will be affect by the smell and noise. one worker told us she received
