You can always use the embarcadero road there that runs parallel. Over along 101, this is right near san tomas expressway we have an accident thats no longer blocking lanes but certainly keeping the ride slow for drivers heading out of san jose. And we are in the yellow now for the san mateo bridge in that westbound direction heading over to san mateo and 880 just trying to get into hayward is going to be a challenge for many drivers in the yellow 18 minutes.
