And tomorrows veritable blizzard of passengers projected to be oaklands busiest day of the year.

We want to show you a map now and heres a look at some of the other hot spots around the bay area at this hour. You can see all those areas highlighted in red, that means theres heavy traffic and its slow going in the area. Over there the yellow, that means construction or an accident indicated there with those yellow flashing icons. So a lot of red over the bay bridge on highway 101. Maybe just areas to avoid at this hour. More than 97 million americans are going to be on the roads and driving to their destinations over the christmas holiday. That means about 9 in every 10 people who plan on traveling this year will be driving instead of potentially flying or other modes of transportation. Aaa expects tonight to be the busiest on the roads. The chp begins its holiday crackdown and maximum enforcement period tomorrow night at 6 p. M. To make sure you stay safe on the roads. Were looking for everything, people cell phones, texting, calling, drunk drivers, speeders and people making those unsafe lane changes following too closely. Were also looking for disabled motorists. We want to make sure people are able to get to their destinations in time for the holidays. Over the thanksgiving holiday, the chp says 76 people were killed in crashes. The chp also made more than 1,000 dui arrests, a 17 increase compared to last year. An arrest in a mail bombing case that injured the wife of an Alameda Police officer. Ross Gordon Laverty was charged in federal court today with mailing an explosive device with the intent to injure or kill. Authorities say he sent the package to the officers home on alamedas Bay Farm Island last month. The officer was at work at the time so his wife opened up the package and suffered hearing loss and minor burns when it exploded. Investigators believe the suspect may be responsible for a similar explosive device that was mailed to an East Palo Alto home in october. Investigators are still trying to piece together what caused a crash on 880 today that left one person dead. The chp said a fedex truck collided with another vehicle around 3 a. M. Near the oakland coliseum. Investigators say the driver of the vehicle was an offduty u. P. S. Driver and was killed in the crash. The fedex driver stayed at the scene and is cooperating with law enforcement. We are going over the evidence, interviewing witnesses, involved parties. This is a very complex investigation and as such, we dont have a lot of answers at this time. All four lanes of southbound 880 were closed for five hours this morning, creating a major traffic jam for commuters and travelers trying to make their way to the oakland airport. Shut down averted, at least temporarily. The senate today passed a stop gap spending bill to prevent a government shutdown. The house passed it earlier today so it now heads to the president s desk. Caroline shively is in washington, dc for us tonight with more on this. Caroline, what does this mean . Reporter this means the government is going to stay open past midnight tomorrow night, frank. Without it the federal government would have run out of money. It funds the government for four weeks from tomorrow. We call it the congressional kick the can game. They will be going through all of this again when the money runs out in january, on the 19th. It keeps funding the government at current levels. It has a little extra in there. It gives money for the pentagon, veterans. It also funds the chip program. That ran out in october. They have been operating piecemeal since then. That gives medical care to almost 9 million low income children across the country. Folks in the senate tonight with a little tired. They wanted to pass something permanently but with christmas looming and this winter break, this was all they could get done, this temporary fix. So as you mentioned, this is essentially kicking the can down the road. At what point here do you think that they are going to come together and pass a permanent solution . Reporter they need to do something. John cornyn, the senator, said its like groundhog day up here. They just push it down the road each time for a couple of weeks. Last time it was for two weeks. In the coming months, they pledge to get something together to permanently fund the government. Its hard for the government to run not knowing when they will run out of money. What was it like on capitol hill today after the vote . Reporter they were running. We call it a congressional jail break within literally 5 minutes of the house voting it, they were running down the stairs. They were supposed to get out last week. And theyre still here. You know, another thing i should mention about the importance of this passing was the president cant sign the tax reform bill until this got through because without it, entitlement cuts would automatically kick into effect. So now the president can sign this tomorrow, this congressional continuing resolution and then likely tomorrow he will be able to sign the tax reform bill. Obviously, congress has a lot of work ahead. What about daca . Reporter daca, they are going to take that up in january. Its going to be a rough january, pretty contentious. Hole that be voting on dreamers, daca, defense, and the money that runs out and the reauthorization. This temporarily reauthorizes a domestic spy program aimed at targeting terrorists. So a lot happening in january. Can they get it all done . I dont know. Tax reform is the first big thing they did this entire session. Caroline shively in the Nations Capital tonight. Thank you. The white house says its a very good chance that President Trump will sign the republican tax bill into law tomorrow. Congress added language to its temporary spending bill to make sure that the tax measure wouldnt trigger automatic spending cuts. The tax bill offers permanent tax cuts for businesses and smaller temporary cuts for individuals. Today democrats repeated their claim that the gop tax bill wont help the middle class. Who got the help . Just like the republican tax bill, the answer is already clear. Those at the top. Massive corporations that care more about boosting profits than treating their workers fairly. The bill could add 1 trillion or more to the deficit. Republicans say Economic Growth will make up for that. The gop is also counting on savings from the elimination of the obamacare individual mandate to help with the projected deficit from the tax reform bill. Santa clara county investigators say they have arrested three men in an undercover sex trafficking sting. Authorities released photos of two of the suspects. Both are 18.

It will be more difficult to carry all this stuff that they were carrying in before. It wont give them a large footprint. Reporter the cost of the boulder, 8,700. We spend that much in a week just doing the cleanup there because of Health Hazard and safety reasons. I think the boulders are useless. Its a waste of taxpayer money. Reporter this man has been homeless for two years. He moved across the street after the boulders were put in. He says its not enough to keep the homeless from moving back. This is not where they should put their efforts, in rocks. They should help the homeless get into homes instead of sleeping under a freeway or Something Like that. Open up more homes. Reporter advocates for the homeless say this is not the way to solve such a complex problem. Folks are just going to be tucked away in a different part of that area under the freeway. Its probably less safe, closer to the streets where they can be hit by a car. Reporter the city isnt sure if the new landscape will deter homeless camps. The boulders only cover a fraction of the spaces. But the city says its a low cost plan worth trying. Were trying this out. Well see what happens. And you find out what works and what doesnt and make adjustments. If it doesnt work, it doesnt work.
