let's take a look at the richmond bridge toll plaza camera.blocking lanes. this is fluid where the fluid had spilled out of the truck and trailer as it crashed into the toll plaza at the bridge from richmond into san rafael for west 580. they've brought a dumpster. they're not going to open the far right lane. the toll plaza is right here on that line as you travel between those lanes and that will probably remain closed. you see they've got a caltrans truck with a bumper. my guess is, at most, they're going to open one more lane. that would bring you to four lanes. there will be delays out of richmond heading toward san rafael. folks have been hearing about this since 10:00 p.m. last night when the deadly crash happened, and many have shifted north toward 37, plan on telecommuting or perhaps are headed south to the bay bridge. still have a lot of slowing around wilder. the east bay is the worst of it. south bay, everything moves smoothly. back to you. >>> 6:41. relocating a san francisco attraction. the meeting happening today that may send t

has burned into the surrounding toll plaza itself. and that obviously is going to be a problem to first got to put the fire out. then they have some major repairs and looks like based on what we're looking at here. there's some significant damage, which means the toll booths will be operating fully. don't know if it's affecting one or all of the lay of the lanes. so this is going to be a a problem through the night. we'll have to wait and see how this affects the morning commute because this could be pretty significant issue come tomorrow morning. so we'll keep an eye on it throughout our newscast. in our 11 o'clock newscast. and of course, pick it up. first thing in the morning with the kron. 4 morning news. want to tune in, especially if you use report you says routes. tuesday's is a very, very heavy traffic in commute day today here in area, right? so again, this is a live look at a fire on the richmond. sandra fell bridge at the toll plaza. >> several fire crews are there now, as you can see them in this live, a picture working to

we had westbound 90 just east of the toll plaza. we currently know that one lane is still blocked and 2 lanes are open. as you can see, traffic is just behind this shot where those lanes of that lane is blocked. there. now, this 3 vehicles were involved in that crash. 2 vehicles ended up in a ditch. and so that shut down the entire westbound side of the bridge for at least 15 minutes. so we had residual delays and a backup because of that. right now, if you are looking at the map this morning, if you are going to be hopping on 8, 80 look at that, fred, all across 8.80, and on mission boulevard as well. so that accident we're seeing spillover. all those and jason highways. now again, 92 westbound just east of the toll plaza. you can see that's where that crash initially happened. a lot of people are also trying to maneuver and take the dunbar bridge. and you can see that right now. we're up to 30 minutes there, 80 in menlo park. if you are traveling san mateo bridge, pretty backed up as well as the dunbar bridge this morning. now, th
