And more importantly, guys, look on the left side of your screen. That is the rise of the dumbarton bridge. Notice there is no movement on the left side of the bridge. That is the eastbound direction as the chp, they have their hands full still trying to remove this accident. We understand its an overturned car. Lots of problems involved. Usually, guys, they even allow cars to maybe past an accident and get going in this case. This is quite catastrophic. As you can see, theyre theyre not allowing any cars on the descent side of the dumbarton bridge, which is the eastbound side. They can even go past that accident. So it appears that it is blocked all the way back. I would presume probably even to 101, southbound. So you can see what its doing to traffic in that side and on the westbound side, its no walk in the park either as usually they can and go through here pretty quickly as this is not the workhorse of the east bay. Thats the san mateo bridge and a lot of people use the dumbarton bridges to escape to get from eastbound to the west side to the peninsula. But look at this, james. You can clearly see brake lights are on its a parking lot here and on the other side, it is a vacant parking lot. Back to you. All right. So that Vantage Point looks terrible. And now we to why its taking so long as rain is talking about when you have to clean up gravel. Thats a problem. More on that good morning. Yeah, it looks really terrible across all the adjacent highways and bridges alike will is talking about. If you want to escape the dunbar bridge altogether. 8, 82. 37. 0, 1, 0, 1, is an option. But look at just how slow they are. Also the san mateo bridge, very slow in of itself is people are having to take that and rely on that. They cant take the dunbar bridge unless they want to be stuck in over 2 miles of traffic in backup on the westbound side. So again, eastbound 84, right . The causeway is where everything happened. So they shut it down. Lets get a different viewpoint of things out there that we have a caltrans camera just to show you things so that back up there over 2 miles, 84 westbound is where you see the backup and you see nothing on the eastbound side is a try to clean up that gravel from that earlier accident. All right. Lets check out other bridges, though. So the san mateo bridge, the drive times there. Were at about 30 minutes as 80 to 1, but you got to get to the bridge before any of that happens. So things have been slow for a lot of folks trying to take that bay bridge. 21 minutes. Thankfully, we dont have any accidents there. And if you dont drive, take bart. No major delays or accidents along bar or slowest aslo thing slowing you down about 12 minutes long. The richmond sandra bridge and maybe youre taking 101, because youre going to go that route. You take to 37. You see right about 70 minutes in terms of drive times their 85 up to menlo park. So its been a busy morning on the roads. But, gail, im really thankful that we dont have any rain to add to this mess. Good morning. Exactly reyna. You know, when you add those wet roads definitely can cause some more crashes. But we do have rain in the forecast later this weekend. But we are looks like were staying dry today. I want to show you this view of Half Moon Bay because now im starting to see some sunshine. We have some partly cloudy skies out here on the coast and in about later on today, we have some sun sunshine coming up in the afternoon hours and well have some comfortable temperatures. Im seeing a 60s and 70s along the coast and bay. And then later on this afternoon when those forecast highs peak looking at low 80s inland, ill have extended forecast in a bit. Back to you.

The state average has risen 0. 21 now, 6. 3 at the average across the state. Lets get to some video that weve gathered from this morning. Overall, california still sits 2 higher than the national average, which is 3. 85. Experts say, well, the main reason is because theres a surge in oil costs and barrels are now around 90 bucks. But in addition here in california, down to the refineries in Southern California, theyve got some issues happening and also doing some maintenance as we get into those winter months. So its now hiking up the prices. I spoke with one woman. She says that she is traveling today and asked her. Did you ever stop and think twice about what youre going to do because of the cost gas . Take a listen. I do. Actually, i do. When i go see my mom and its 2 hours away, i think about doing it. Whether i do it more than once a week. You know. Well gracie, lou, for a bush here. Its over 100. She actually spent 136 to fill up her sedan. And the gas that she put was obviously supreme. So 6. 76 here at this gas station. 100 plus 30. Shes going to visit her mama mantega. She normally goes twice a week. Now shes only going once a week and then coming up in the next hour, from another woman he drives from here to livermore. Ill tell you how much shes spending every day as to when its going to get better. We dont really know.

You certainly have a cut out for you because things are slow this morning. I want to get a look at outside. Weve got another angle of that scene there. So what youre looking at is everybody trying to get on the bridge there and they are actually this is on the eastbound side of menlo park, even though it says will erode their and theyre being stopped and theyre being diverted off at university. So you cant use the eastbound side lanes there and people are stuck because they were trying to get on the bridge. A traveling across from the peninsula 8. 80, in fremont in that area. But they were stopped right there. So as you can see, the westbound side slowly moving. But the eastbound side you cant get on there at all while they continue to clean up that gravel.

You can see the cars passing the toll plaza. If youve been following us for the past hour, as far as my reports from this location, it was bumpertobumper starting at the toll plaza. And you can see it is just free and clear as cars seem to be moving along, just fine as they get to the rise of the down barton bridge. We will zoom in and show you the rise. That seems to be the area. That is the biggest problem eastbound drivers as rain has been talking about. They are taking cars off of the freeway. So the left side of the bridge on your screen. That is the eastbound side. Thats where the accident took place. You dont see any movement at all as far as cars as the chp. They are working to clear the accident. I understand they have gravel on the road and they need to make sure that the road is safe before they reopen it. 2 drivers heading from say the peninsula over the dumbarton bridge to the east bay to newark, fremont direction. As far as the westbound side, that is not the accident site. But we saw just the Collateral Damage that it did to direction. We actually 8. 80, southbound to get to the toll plaza james and area. And it was backed up a little bit there as well as people who normally take the dumbarton bridge. Well, they were backed up all the way back to 8. 80. It looks like no backup on the westbound side as traffic seems to be moving along. It is the eastbound side. The accident site that is still the major concern. The smart back to you.

We also have some gravel spilling out on the highway there. Chp tells me theyre working on trying to clear the gravel off of the bridge as we speak on the eastbound side so they can get folks back up and moving along that bridge, the westbound side. You can see were starting to slow down there just a little bit. So as long as people are unable to take both sides of the bridge, youve got to have settled delays there. Alright, look at the mateo bridge in terms of that drive. 26 minute 80 to 101 for everybody heading across towards peninsula. The bay bridge thankful that there are no accidents there.
