robin all right, thank you john i'm tracking a hot spot that still lingering on the nimitz freeway we have a crash leaving downtown oakland. >>and it's really clocking up the commute thankfully. it's the counter commute directions, but it's still slow so this is a tv south at oak street, couple of vehicles involved here are your 2 right lanes are closed so 80 south is backed up beyond 9.80. and now it's filling into west oakland so consider that you may want to take 5.80 instead of the nimitz the northbound side not so bad it was stacking up a little bit because of the rubber neck wrist, but it looks like northbound you'll be fine. it's just the southbound side that slow we're checking the san mateo bridge in our crash finally cleared at the high rise, but it backed up traffic on to the flat section you can see here on your right that's what it's looking like leaving hayward on the left that's what it looks like a pin over the high rise so slow as you get closer to foster city but not so bad on the hayward side when you put it all together it's 22 minutes from the nimitz over to the b

>>> the nimitz is still the problem right now, kari. the nasty nimitz, the nickname. not because of overnight road work. northbound at 29th, things have changed. the backup built and the map shows you things over near 29th are getting easier for those speed sensors. i think we're starting to see the crews move earlier than 6:00. big rigs have been allowed for westbound 580 because of the backup and an earlier crash which bogged things down. now we see free throw month with slowing. we'll talk about that coming up. back to you. >> thank you, mike. >>> in just about 30 minimum or so the senate judiciary committee will begin confirmation hearings for amy coney barrett. republicans say they are confident that they have the votes to have her confirmed by election day but democrats say the proceedings should be postponed because of the spread of coronavirus on capitol hill. experts say judge barrett's criticism of the court's 2012 ruling on obamacare and her conservative views on abortion will both be hot topics. we are tracking the confirmation hearings of the supreme cour

pretty good so far john but we do have some construction that's wrapping up so little slow on the nimitz but at least it's not a major hot spot so we're off to a fantastic start. >>here's a live. look at one of your busy bridges and that's 92. no surprise right it's always busy or the busy especially during the 4 o'clock 5 o'clock hour. so it continues to fill in as we enter new hour lots of brake lights but no problem so this is good 12 minutes for your drive to the peninsula here at the bay bridge 80 west not as busy very quiet 11 minutes off to fremont street and here's the construction that i mentioned so it's 80 north north of high street. they're always a little late picking up the cones some time words spilled over into the 6 o'clock hour. so expect stop and go traffic northbound 80 from the coliseum to maybe just north of high street and after that the rest of your trip continuing to downtown oakland looks fantastic the east shore 20 for the rest of 5.80 and the nimitz so daryn james one little slow spot, but so far no major hot spots in traffic at the bridge us look at what more

the only major slowdown i'm tracking is on the nimitz freeway we have construction under way the usual construction, northbound at 29, but we also had a fatal crash near high street so we still have a lot of slow traffic there northbound between high street and 29th avenue, but it looks like only the right lane is closed for now, but that's going to slow you down entering downtown oakland so take 5.80 west instead of the northbound m it's freeway that help you get around the backup just getting word of a new crash northbound 6.80 at marine of this is approaching the benicia bridge before you get to the bridge new accident there blocking so a little bit of slow traffic leading up to the scene and highway for an accident still wrapping up westbound at san marco, there's a little bit of slow traffic through the scene but you're still at 14 minutes west for from antioch to concord or bridge us look good or crash in san francisco finally cleared it was actually the southbound central to 80 east that was block so that's back open. the james leg and 2.80 look great 80 west, delays at the toll

so if you plan on traveling into castor valley do be on the lookout for that little slow down the nimitz is recovering from an earlier crossing you see that heavy traffic leaving union city heading north into hayward that's residual slowing after an accident but it's looking better already we'll check in on more slow downs coming up darya james thanks a lot rob and we are now 5 days till the election and both presidential candidates, making many stops on the campaign trail president trump was in arizona and democratic challenger joe biden was in delaware and they both talked about covid-19 john breaks it down. >>speaking to a packed crowd of mostly maskless supporters president trump is battling to win over arizona and its 11 electoral votes biden is the candidate of layoffs lockdowns and misery. >>i am the candidate of jobs, vaccines and prosper. >>the biden campaign deploying vp nominee kamala harris to counter the president's message before a socially distance crowd in tucson i love my they know when we vote we when the president taking shots at california and to wear masks to help pr

it's not so fun on the nimitz right now there's a multi vehicle accident in west oakland.h after 7 street, there's a dump truck involved. it may involve some police action and suspected drunk driving they have 2 lanes closed on the nimitz so it's creating a backup. that's almost stretching over to the east shore freeway so if you're coming out of emeryville or maybe san francisco. i think you should cut over to 5.80 instead of using the nimitz because traffic is at a crawl the south bay looks good 85 at the limit and no problems on 2.80 heading north from san jose to cupertino back to you. thanks a lot. >>back home for the a's though they were eliminated from the playoffs. they could rally a comeback in the astros took it away and now they win the american league division series yeah, let's show you how game for went down things started off pretty good for the a's. >>we've got ramon oriana here hitting the ball for a three-run home run in the second inning and that gave the a's the lead at that point. unfortunately it just went downhill from there. the a's innings 4 throug
