rebecca all right, thank you john we're headed over to the bay bridge toll plaza approach. >>traffic really backed up and this is because of an earlier problem a broken down car right at treasure island on the upper deck, it's been clear that's the good news, but of course the backup still there right and a lot of folks just trying to get into san francisco because the normal commute a total drive time just under 30 minutes coming out of macarthur maze getting to the pay gates. it's going to be very sluggish all the way across the upper deck to the island and then it's going to start to pick up right after that point to the fremont street exit so just be aware of that you are going to have to wait just a bit. much improvement here the san mateo bridge only 30 minutes now trying to get out of the east bay over to the peninsula. we had a great time about 45 minutes earlier because of a crash that's already been cleared. but you can see traffic trying to get back to normal connecting over to the one oh one split. this is richmond been problem free all morning long remains that

want to just wait it out at home if you can in the meantime though hey the good news, the bay bridge toll plaza approach looking great at this 5 o'clock hour. it is friday light right now under 10 minutes out of the east bay trying to get across the upper deck and then over to the freeman street exit on your westman 80 rhyme and you're westbound 92 commute across the san mateo bridge just under 15 minutes right now so hit the road summit tracking any problems on the flat section the high rise looks good over 2, one to one. and then the richmond sandra fell bridge 7 minutes into the north bay connecting with the one on one right now as you make your way out of the richmond area check the golden gate coming up in just a bit. let's hand it over to john well rebecca what we're seeing today is definitely a lot calmer of weather than what we had for the day yesterday yo can see. >>the richmond sandra fell bridge is nice and calm but so are her weather there we go looking outside at our rain totals from yesterday we did see some very significant totals in areas like san francisco and hayward well over

in fact we've had a number of spinouts were style fall with the bay bridge toll plaza first where we have a longer line heading into. >>san francisco the last time i checked it we didn't have a wait at all. and now the cash lanes are really stacking up spilling back beyond the end of the lot starting to creep toward the 80 over crossing, so this is what's in store for those of you heading into san francisco this morning right now we're putting in at 8 minutes for your average in over to 92 busy as to brake lights, leaving heyward going west. it's about a 13 minute trip off to one oh one in san mateo we do not have any major hot spots so that is good, but you want to be extra careful driving on the slick roads this morning you could easily spend out 7 minutes here from the richmond sandra fell bridge to the north bay want to take you down to the santa cruz mountains because i just got word of a new accident, northbound 17 north of the cement its a spent out in the left lane, the folks may be out of that car standing in the road as well so be on the lookout for that and then yesterday
