now at noon -- crews are out inspecting several major roadways in napa county after reports of cracks that may have been caused by sunday's earthquake and today's aftershocks. the mayor of napa receives a visit from the mayor of san francisco as the earthquake recovery effort continues. and a series of aftershocks rattle the napa valley, small strong enough to wake people up. we're tracking the latest seismic activity. less than an hour ago, an

alert at usgs and then after aftershock rattled the napa area. it's one of a series of aftershocks in the wake of sunday's 6.0 earthquake. this map shows you where all of those aftershocks have taken place in the last 12 hours. good afternoon. i'm david stevenson in for tori campbell. we're also getting new images of damage around napa. newschopper2 crew over a sink home as crews inspected cracks. we have team coverage. ktvu's janine de la vega spoke to seismologists with the usgs about the aftershocks and alex savidge is in napa with the latest on building inspections. but we begin with sal castanedo who is near a major road where crews are inspecting a crack. sal? >> reporter: david, this is highway 29. the george butler bridge. you can see one lane is closed up there. you can kind of see the closure although there is a big truck going by. one of the two lanes on the bridge on southbound 29 is shut

down on the -- on this work area. at times they've closed both lanes to bring in more equipment. newschopper2 got a look at the repair process shortly after the closure sunday after an inspection then. someone noticed a crack near the west end of the bridge. after this morning's inspection, caltrans looked at it and made a decision to close the lane. >> it extends across both lanes of traffic. we'll be repairing the number one lane first and then they will transition to the number two lane and repair that also. >> reporter: now, cracks in the pavement are -- is what's closing this bridge, the chp says -- caltrans says it's not a structural issue. they determined that driving across the bridge was unsafe. although the closure is causing huge delays out of napa, officials say it had to be done. >> it seems that it's something that's gotten progressively worse.

it may be as a result of the aftershocks that we had this morning. there was a small one there that's just a transition but it appears that over the last couple of the seismic events this has made it worse. >> reporter: all right. we're soing you this live picture of highway 29. the main artery out of napa. it's backed up way back from highway 121. you can notice caltrans bringing in more equipment to the scene as we speak. they said that this is going to be closed until 5:00. i also want to mention that there is another closure that we just found out about on highway 37 near mare island near that bridge. one of the lanes is closed there. so apparently, after the seismic activity a lot of cracks have been found. so far we haven't found anything that's structural in nature we haven't been told about anything that's structural in nature. these cracks will grow as the day progresses. live in napa county, sal

castanedo, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, sal. newschopper2 grew over a sinkhole that opened up in northwest napa. it's a hole in the street at craig court and westview drive with caution tape around it. no crews were in the area this morning. it's not clear if the sinkhole is connected with the earthquake but residents say it appeared on sunday. we put in a call to the city to find out more about it. with hundreds of damaged buildings, city leaders in napa are shifting into recovery mode this morning. and they will be getting help from san francisco. ktvu's alex savidge is live right now with an important visit that happened this morning. alex? >> reporter: well, dave individual, good afternoon to -- david, good afternoon to you. the mayor of san francisco made a special trip to wine country to offer support to this area as it shifts in cleanup mode. there is a lot of work that has yet to be done to secure a lot of these buildings with crumbling facades. it will take a lot for this area to bounce back but a lot of help is also coming. >> i'm saddened by the fact that we've suffered this kind of damage. >> reporter: this morning,

mayor ed lee came to napa to see the damage from sunday's earthquake up close. he took a walking tour through downtown, guided by the mayor of napa and other city and county leaders. mayor lee came to learn how buildings here reacted to the shaking like napa. san francisco has a lot of historic buildings with unreinforced masonry. >> this is the challenge of the day. places like napa wouldn't be the attraction they would be without the historic buildings. how do you do that in a safe way? that's the challenge. >> reporter: at the same time, mayor lee is offering support to help this area rebuild. that could include sending in engineers and cleanup crews from san francisco. he will also push others to pitch in. >> i'm gonna ask volunteers, ask for donations, ask for corporate citizens to be generous in their time and their resporeses -- resources to help people. >> reporter: while hundreds of buildings were damaged by the earthquake, many hotels,

>> reporter: at 10:56 this morning, the usgs's early detection equipment showed a 2.7 quake was about to happen. it also told us that in menlo park, we would not feel the shaking. we didn't. those closer to napa may have felt it. the seismologists told us in berkeley, san francisco and in oakland, they would have received a ten-second warning which is helpful for agencies to give them time to shut off gas lines or shut down trains. the usgs says to be prepared for more aftershocks. in the next seven days there is a 14% chance the area will experience some that may be a 5 magnitude or higher. >> we do expect over the next couple of weeks to have aftershocks continue. as i said the probably of events, moderate events felt by the folks in napa, vallejo, between 3 and 5, those magnitudes will probably see between 2 and 1 of those in the
