caltrans tells us to expect one lane, just one lane eastbound to be open. of course, it's going to be a bit of a traffic headache for people traveling this weekend. but this is just the beginning of the repairs because there's more work and more closures happening next week. a traffic backup along the richmond, sandra fell bridge will likely be a common sight over the next week. >> repairs on a large pothole or bridge decks. paul, along with other work will be forcing lanes in both directions to close for having these lane closures in place starting friday night. they'll reopen those lanes for saturday morning and then come saturday night again. we'll have those overnight lane closures to allow our crews to get that work friday and saturday nights construction will affect 2 eastbound lanes between 07:00pm and 05:00am but beginning monday, 2 lanes in both the eastbound and westbound directions closed during those same hours. we understand that this bill, this bridge, the biden leading to many bay area communities, which is why we're keeping one lane in each

the outer lanes, so the slow lane, as well as the center divide, will have that closest lane blockedas well. as the crews travel through the area, and likely more safety's sake, they do have to clear this as we're looking through the area. you may want to use 85 south to 280 because you're likely going to see the slowdown in the southbound side as you're traveling for the afternoon and evening commute. through mountain view toward san jose, we will have the build happening in the afternoon, and that will be affecting folks on 85 if folks are taking that as an alternate. you can also use 237 as your alternate, but that's likely only for a stretch of folks going through sunnyvale and santa clara. so keep those aspects in mind. the freeway will remain open and that's the big news there. you'll find some slowing at 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. we find slowing right now in typical spots, highway 37, highway 4, the upper eastshore freeway, and the bay bridge. the toll plaza is filled now. there are reports of a fender bender near the toll plaza in one of your middle lanes. we do have the backup

so basically they will go from 4 lanes own to 2 lanes.n you squeeze all of those cars down to 2 lanes. that's why it's going to be slow and go. why are they doing this? because they need to do maintenance work on the freeway. they need all of that room to do that. not to mention that they need to look at the debris on the side of the road will begin at 9 o'clock this morning. so you might escape it safe for the morning commute. but the afternoon commute you could be stuck in it because this is in both directions because it will go all the way until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. got a chance to talk to caltrans. here. they are elaborating on the work that they plan to do. >> understand that motors are traveling along us 1, 1, quarter. we might see a blown-up prior, you know, some trash along the highway or person haitian who are going to do is going to have our crews go out their cleanup, corridor, but also to make sure that there's no visibility issues >> so what you need to do is say you might want to leave your house a little bit earlier
