2. good morning, everyone. welcome back to ktvu mornings on 2. >> we want to take you right now straight to this cal trans press conference updating us on the closure of the west bon section of the bay bridge. >> thanks for coming to our bay bridge closure update on sunday morning. time keeps flying by. things are going very well for the work we had to do while we've had the upper deck closed. throughout the region we've seen some issues with traffic congestion. we've worked to try and alleviate them at a few locations. but for the most part, traffic seems to be moving well throughout the region. so again, thanks to bay area motorists for helping us with this critical work we have been doing. and thank you to the weather. it's been really, really good for us, and we have gotten a tremendous amount of work done. we are wrapping up the operations now, should be done in the next few hours or so.

and striping was -- a lot of striping got done through the night. we're near completion with striping, as well. and in the key areas that we were looking at. we still have a lot of demolition to do, and we're not going to completely finish demolition. we knew that when we started this but we'll try to get as much as we possibly can. we're about -- we're about midway through all of those punch list items that we wanted to try and take advantage of with the closure. things like a lot of painting. painting has happened on the west spans, some areas on the east spans. we've done systems testing for the new bridge which has been a fantastic opportunity. a lot of different inspections from i bars to trusses has been done. a lot of landscaping is in process. electrical work, reflector replacement. joint repair, drainage and cleaning. it's like a face lift is being done to the bay bridge right now while we have it closed. we've made a lot of progress on the work.

we're definitely looking great to meet our deadline, and there still is the possibility of early opening. we'll ask you to stay tuned as we update you on our progress today. any questions? >> what's the chance, the odds of opening early and how early? >> well, i won't give odds but it's looking favorable for an early opening. i think we're just about out of the woods with the weather issues we were looking at before we went into the closure. it's looking good but not definite kwre9. >> if it opens early, how early could that be? a full 24 hours, or just the night before instead of 5 a.m. tuesday or is that all still in flux? >> everything's still in flux at this point in time, on opening times. and this particular closure is one where we really ask people to stay tuned. because it was going to be difficult to predict when we would be able to open the bridge. keep in mind that the critical work that we're doing is one aspect of it. there's a lot of other things

we have to do. there are the final safety inspections that have to be done at every location to n sure that this bridge is ready to open. it's -- i know it may sound simple closing the bay bridge but once you close the bay bridge, it changes. and we have to put it back to the way it needs to be to have traffic on it. we have to ensure with c.h.p. that it is that way and then we can open. >> have there been any challenges? you say the work is going well. have you encountered any challenges on anything so far? >> nothing out of the ordinary. there hasn't been anything that's been particularly difficult on this closure. nothing that hasn't been anticipated. so, things have flown very smoothly. >> you have been listening live to the cal trans press conference under way, talking about bay bridge construction, and things look good. they say they're halfway through their list of things they had to do to get done. the big issue is whether that has held up well. striping is also being done and that was another big checkmark they needed to do. so will they open early?

they will not say for sure, but that certainly is still a very good possibility, so we'll certainly keep an eye on them for developments. now this closure is forcing drivers to find alternate routes into san francisco and that's why we want to go live to the bridge for a look at traffic there. we know that backed up yesterday around midday. it looked ok yesterday at this time, and then really, things jammed up. keep an eye on that throughout the day. here is a live look at the san mateo bridge. there you go. again that one also looked good but things got busy throughout the day. let's show you the scene yesterday afternoon as the cars approached the richmond san rafael bridge. that looks like a parking lot. parking on the bridge -- traffic on the bridge was slow throughout the day. cal trans expects the heavier flow of traffic to continue through the holiday weekend. well, we are continuing to follow this story for you. stay with ktvu for continuing coverage on the bay bridge closure. ali will bring us an update in the next half hour, and as

work. but again, the bulk of the work that they set out to do is ahead of schedule. >> looking favorable for an early opening. i think we're just about out of the woods with the weather issues we were looking at before we went into this closure. so it's looking good. but it's not definite yet. >> reporter: some of the other projects cal trans is working on, they are painting the bridge, checking the cables on the san francisco span. doing updated drainage and irrigation work, electrical work on the toll plaza, and a lot of landscaping. the project spokesman bart ney says it's like the crews are giving the upper deck a total face lift during this closure. their next update is at 5 p.m. this afternoon, and it is possible we could find out then that they are going -- they might open the bay bridge upper deck of the bay bridge a little early. again things are still in flux for now. stay with k.t.v.u. and ktvu.com for the latest updates. >> and with the western span of the bay bridge closed, people
