up above us, look at the backup that is being created. this is westbound 580, of course, has to be westbound going into oakland and san francisco from the central valley. this trouble all started at 3:00 this morning and they don't think they're going to open these lanes until 3:00 p.m. this is the route, though, from the central valley, so it's going to cause a headache for a lot of people. this is the second time in two weeks they have shut down lanes because of potholes and caltrans says it's because of weather. all the wet weather and this is the worst season for potholes they've had in years. rough morning commute two weeks ago. here we are dealing with it again. if you can, avoid this route at all, that is what you need to do. you do not want to get stuck in this because it's going to be a very long morning for you if you do. caltrans says this freeway is due to be repaved. they know it's a trouble spot. but they need dry weather they can do that. reporting live in livermore, we are at greenville road. i need to mention that for you
