and thanks for joining us, i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. >> let's get straight to mike inouye with what's going on in 680. mike, how bad are the delays? >> right now overall there's a very light volume of traffic around the bay. our speed sensors show no problems but we know for a fact that we have half of the freeway blocked southbound 680. got confirmation the al costa boulevard on the 680 connector, that on-ramp is open and south of there is where we see lane restrictions and that may be a situation for folks traveling past that and getting towards dublin boulevard. overall the speed sensors look all right but with half of the lanes blocked it's going to be a distraction. pete suratos is out there. i hear you just got company. what's out there right now? >> reporter: good morning, mike, we're still in 680 southbound before dublin boulevard. there are still lanes blocked. you still have the big rig right there that will get towed away. as he step out of the live truck, i saw caltrans just showing up. that's good news, they need to clean up the area before they can completely

. >>> straight to mike inouye following traffic mess and familiar one in the south bay. >> a repeat report we could put on replay. we're not going to. traffic flows a little different. photographic flows and back-up i'm traffic, big issue in the south bay. this is our traffic alert. this is a repeat from last week. southbound 280 to 87, that connector closed by flooding. i want to quickly mention folks would take that 87 to san jose airport. this being before memorial day weekend. that's a concern. it would be for this stretch of folks. everybody else would take 880. that is the avenue you would go. in this area 880, 280 north to 880 north to get to san jose airport. consider that. meanwhile for what's actually going on, the reason why half of 28 is closed, send it to kris sanchez. kris, still following this flooding. >> reporter: hi there. what you're going to see here to my right-hand side is chp officer pacing some of these vehicles because they have been going through this area a little too fast. that's where a chp officer will get in front of the traffic, try to slow it down. at this

mike inouye has been tracking this for us this morning. >> good morning. folks, we have fortunately for much of the bay a lighter volume as we hit the summertime shift. but a huge problem has still been the complete closure of northbound 880 and fremont which continues to cause more and more backup. we're seeing cars slowing before they get to mission. if you head towards 680 that will slow you down a bit before you make that shift. auto mall is where they have the closure. we're suggesting cushing parkway but fremont boulevard will also take you there. look at this live look from our fremont camera. it is jammed up solid from mission boulevard all the way past the truck scales and tesla up to the flashing lights. still working there. bob redell has been on the scene

. >>> mike inouye tracked that crash all morning long. >> and another crash still having an effect on traffic in oakland. mike, take it away. >> i would have taken it away much sooner. as bob talked, about the off-ramp is still closed and the distraction -- and the caltrans crew past the area and folks are slowing, that is your exit to crockett. but use the skyway exit to get through the same area through the carquinez bridge. that is one of the big issues this morning and the benecia bridge is the option but you do see the get out of town traffic in contra costa county. still this issue this morning, north 880 and hegenberger and that crash was there for a long time and the fire was burning and causing a problem. we still have the hegenberger off-ramp closed and traffic in the last quarter mile and the crews hidden by the overpass but toward the coliseum and here is where it is still closed. video from the crash and fire led to damage in the area and we're told by caltrans, they may have that off-ramp closed until 4:00 p.m. we still see the showdown from marina toward the scene. so t

we want to toss it over to mike inouye with a look what's going on with the crash. >> this is the nimitz. this is the fremont shot. we typically show the truck scales over here but on the truck scales northbound is jammed solid up to the flashing lights which are just shy of auto mall parkway. that's where the freeway is completely closed. we'll show you on the map where it is as well. the rest of the bay shows an easy light drive if you're trying to travel north through fre nont, you have to get over to 680 or fremont boulevard on this side of the freeway or cushing parkway on the other side with the gas station and hotel and mcdonald's to get you up past the scene, stevenson is okay from the western side and mallory avenue completely north of that crash and 680 itself is clear but we see a little slowing up through the construction zone as well for the southbound side. that's all going on in fremont. now that multiple -- as i understand it as a result of that

. >> the closure i already tweeted about that as you follow me on twitter at mike inouye. we'll remind you where that was. this is not a closure but first of the two crashes westbound 80. your commute direction at the boulevard, a big rig went off the roadway and busted into those barrels at the off ramp. those barrels are now broken and there may be cleanup work going on. no lanes reported blocked but the slowing for the activity and flashing lights off thebridge, only the cash lanes currently have a backup and we'll track over the next 15 to 20 minutes to make sure they clear. i expect a lighter volume overall but the early commute may see early slowing as you head in towards the weekend. we're looking over here towards north 101 and broadway. the second crash results in the barrels being broken here. activity off the lanes. the off ramp is open again at broadway but we may have activity there. i'll let you know if they have to have any closures but probably not for the morning commute. a smooth drive and that overnight closure in palo alto is open. you're back at speed

let's check in with mike inouye. >> laura and marcus, good morning, folks, we're looking over here andpeeds sensors don't show you where the problem is but this marker right there will take you over to where chp has called for a traffic alert. they call it asigalert. southbound 680 as you're approaching the dublin interchange. dublin boulevard, there's a fuel spill and so reports are that three lanes are blocked and waiting for a sweeper truck. pete suratos is out there. we see from the sensors that traffic is moving slowly but if it lasts much longer in

we want to go straight to mike inouye for an update on the tragic mess in the east bay. mike, do we have a lot of congestion going on? >> we have more congestion even though they have more lanes open as well. we have this build for the commute. even though we have a lighter volume pretty much this week and you see that in the south bay and along the east bay. towards the tri-valley, we see the congestion, southbound 680 towards al costa build into san ramon, we have all of this slowing and it let's up around dublin boulevard where pete suratos reports. there was a crash and fuel leak. there have been changes out there but i'm going to sends it out to you because you have the latest situation out there. >> reporter: good morning, mike, we're just past dublin boulevard on 680 south. you're seeing this traffic move but behind me you see where the lane closure is and that's where all of the fuel spilled and caltrans if you can see it down there in the distance. if we can hold that shot, you can see they are cleaning up the fuel. that's good news because once they clear that u

we covered this problem throughout "today in the bay" but now mike inouye telling us three lanes are open again. another pressing question, why does it flood in the first place. chp said ground water is always seeping up in this area and there is a pump that runs continuously to keep the roadway from flooding but this morning the pumps just died. >>> well i don't think we need to worry too many about rain. cooler weather across the area, right, kari. >> it is nice and cool as we take a look out there. and we are seeing just a few clouds moving by. all of the rain and thunder and lightning is over the central valley and sacramento valley. they've also seen some of the thunderstorms firing up around fairfield. but much of it has stayed away from the bay area and just on the very outer edge of this. so if you are traveling to sacramento, you may encounter some of the storms that continue to light up the sky with some lightning as we see just some breaks in the clouds. a live look outside in san jose. as we go to evergreen for our temperature trend, it is a much cooler day than normal. o
