Bridge approximately 30 gallons or so. And it affected all the lanes of traffic. Its just west of the fremont offramp. So right now we are diverting traffic off the fremont street. They are planning on having the number 5 lane and the harrison street offramp open shortly. We are still looking at around 6 00 or later to get all the traffic lanes open. Okay. So just to clarify, the paint spill itself happened closer to the fremont street side of westbound 80. Right now the harrison street exit is closed but you do expect to have, um, that westbound 80 harrison street exit open in a few minutes . Thats correct. Harrison street and the number five lane for traffic past fremont and harrison street. What are you advising commuters who normally take bay bridge to get into the city . Well, i mean, they are just going to have to be patient unless they want to take a detour through the north bay or, you know, from the lower side of the peninsula. Thank you so much for your time, officer. As we move on, i want to talk to you about the impact its having on the outlying commutes. More traffic on 880 through oakland as folks avoid the mess at the bay bridge. They are now taking 880 in that southbound direction heading towards the san mateo bridge much more Traffic Volume for southbound 880 as it rolls through oakland just beyond this picture leaving the macarthur maze. Certainly youre going to see more traffic on the san mateo bridge this morning as a result. And possibly even more riders on the bart system. Right now bart reporting no delays. Thats kcbs traffic. Well continue to follow this for you with more traffic in a few minutes. Brian. All right. Liza, well i think its me. Thank you very much, liza. Its likely no surprise for daily commuters a paint spill and now this. A new report shows bay area Traffic Congestion just keeps getting worse. Kpix 5s kiet do is live in milpitas with more on one of the worst commutes including a new stretch of highway in the top 10. Reporter we are live at the second worst commute in the bay area and that is 880 southbound in the morning from san leandro into milpitas. If you have been on this stretch, you know, it is horrible. But it actually gets worse. The absolute worst commute in the bay area is i80 eastbound from hercules to the bay bridge. Traffic experts have calculated that it is delaying drivers on that corridor nearly 9,000 hours every day. They got that number in part by counting the number of cars that start to slow down below 35 miles an hour. So heres the rest of that list. Third worst commute in the bay area is in the evening, 101 southbound from fair oaks in sunnyvale down to oakland road in san jose. And fourth worst is going back eastbound over the bay bridge in the evening. Using gps, cell phone tagging and road sensors they have calculated congestion increased 3 in 2014 which is the latest data. In fact, congestion has increased 40 since 2010, when the Great Recession was at its lowest point and its bound to get worse because the region is adding 2100 jobs a month. To tame traffic contra costa and santa clara counties are planning to put sales tax hikes on the ballot next year to fund more Construction Projects and improving bart and caltrain, adding more camera sensors and metering lights and toll lanes will help, too. Finally, we want to give an Honorable Mention to one commute that jumped from 18th worst to 10th worst and that is from san jose 101 northbound story road into montague expressway. Congratulations, you did it. Live in milpitas, kiet do, kpix 5. The Highway Patrol is investigating the latest shooting on 80 in the east bay. The fourth since early november. It happened yesterday afternoon on westbound 80 at the San Pablo Dam road exit. Detectives say that someone in a sedan pulled up alongside a ford escape and started shooting. A victim made it to a dennys restaurant and a waitress said he had an arm wound and was losing blood. Just trying to be there for him because if it happened to any one of us you want someone to like kind of be there for you in those moments, you know . Paramedics took the 30year old richmond man to a nearby hospital. Investigators say there was a second person in the suv with the victim but that person ran away. They are not sure if this is connected to three other shootings along the same stretch of i80 last month. From fires to landslides, concerns are growing that the burn areas in middletown and lake county could be vulnerable as winter rains hit northern california. For example, people on Cobb Mountain an area burned by the valley fire are watching the ground warily. They are especially concerned about the potential for erosion or landslides. The last rain all this road just came down here and it ran through here and a car was parked in the gravel here and all of a sudden it was in four inches of mud. Relative scale, i think there are some pretty risky areas but theres no guarantee they are going to fail. It depends on the weather and how quickly plants regrow and things like that. When a wildfire burns it seals the top layer of soil and water runs off. Theres not much soil and foliage to hold it in place. And at the same time, federal and state agencies are helping homeowners recover from the fire season. Californias Governors Office fema and the Small Business administration are all pulling together some 30 million for survivors of both the butte fire and the valley fire. Speaking of butte. Yes. Speaking of. [ laughter ] here i am. [ laughter ] so we have some light rain on the way from northern california. Youre going to be here all day. Yeah, sorry.

Lets get back to liza with more on this traffic mess. Hey, liza. Good morning. We have been watching this problem at the start of the show involving this paint spill at the bay bridge. It happened westbound 80 just beyond fremont street. Fremont street being a very busy exit getting off the bridge into San Francisco. Now, that ramp is open and all traffic was diverted off at fremont street. We understand that the right lane of west 80 has just been reopened. But the four lefthand lanes including the harrison street exit from west 80 remains shut down so be prepared for delays at this hour through the tunnel to the new towers. Its not quite backed up yet to the bay bridge toll plaza. But certainly, as this closure of those lanes continues, you can expect more folks out on the alternate routes including 880, southbound you can expect more traffic heading towards the san mateo bridge this morning. At least in this picture right here it doesnt look too bad passing hegenberger. Certainly again as the morning progresses use the san mateo bridge and you will see more folks out there this morning certainly not going to be a friday light commute for any of the drives in and around the bay bridge area. Now, the bart system is reporting no big delays on the system. They have been doing a good job of getting folks across the bay this morning. And again, the chp expects to reopen all lanes of westbound 80 by 6 30 this morning. We have anne makovec on her way. She will have an update for us, as well. Thats a look at kcbs traffic. Now to brian. We are starting out with mostly dry conditions this early friday morning in the bay area. That will change as the day goes on. Theres some light rain on the way. As we get another Vantage Point of that traffic mess heading into the bay area, you can see thats the westbound lanes as they back up behind the where they are taking all the traffic off at fremont. So its slow going over the bay bridge. Numbers right now 47 degrees in san bruno. 58 oakland. San francisco 49. San jose 43. Santa rosa 49. Thats where all the rain is concentrated right now up in mendocino county. And down by us, not too bad. But winter storm warnings posted in the mountains from this afternoon through tomorrow afternoon, heaviest snow in the evening hours tonight through tomorrow morning so expect travel delays as they get snow above 5500 feet.

Coming up, can the sharks continue to fight more faith on the road . Was this the final game nfl style until st. Louis . Kickoff coming up. And this mornings bay area job market report, if you can speak multiple languages, it could really pay off. Heres Jill Schlesinger. Reporter do family get togethers sometimes feel like you need an interpreter . Youre not alone. The government report that demand for interpreters and translators will be up 46 by 2022. Translators and interpreters are not interchangeable. Interpreters typically focus on the spoken word. Translators deal with the written word. This means many translators are able to work from home. The globalization of business is driving growth in the field but there are other factors at play, too. For instance, interpreters are often employed in courtrooms, hospitals and schools. As the u. S. Becomes increasingly more diverse, those professionals who specialize in law and healthcare should have their choice of jobs. Wages vary based on expertise and employer. But the average pay for both interpreters and translators in the bay area is 47,600,000. Or more. One big plus to the field, it capital be fully automated. Computers have made the work more efficient, but they have yet to do a better job than humans. Im Jill Schlesinger for kpix 5. ,,,,,,,,, good morning, everybody. The chp has issued a sig alert for our hot spot the bay bridge this morning. A paint spill has shut down four out of five lanes at the bay bridge. The harrison street exit remains shut down, as well.

Traffic is stacked up solid. Traffic is being funneled down to one lane onehour delays because of a paint spill. And well have rain later in the bay area, light rain coming through. Well have the timing, the amount and all of that stuff and a wet weekend ahead. Good morning, its friday, december 18. Im michelle griego. Hi, everyone. Im frank mallicoat. Its 5 31. And we are following this breaking news. We are going to go back to liza about this paint spill thats snarling traffic. This paint spill happened around 3 50 this morning. Westbound 80 just beyond fremont street. As you come off the bay bridge heading into downtown San Francisco, as we go back to my maps right now, westbound 80 has been stacked up solid. Normally theres five lanes. Traffic flowing into the city. This morning, just one. We do have four left lanes shut down. The harrison street exit is closed as crews continue to work on this very messy situation involving 10 to 15 cans of paint spilling across the road. We have cars pulled over with paint all over them. Its just a long mess now with over 1 hour delays being reported for the drive out of oakland heading into San Francisco. Continue to use your alternates which includes the san mateo bridge and bart. This morning, bart is on time. You can see right now traffic is just at a crawl westbound into the city. Well continue to watch this, we have anne makovec live at the scene, as well. Guys, well continue to watch this again. Its going to be out there until 6 30 at least. What a mess. All right. Kpix 5s anne makovec is on fremont street and thats where cars are being diverted off the upper deck of the bay bridge. Anne. Reporter yeah. The traffic actually from this perspective isnt that bad because theres only one lane of traffic from the westbound bay bridge thats actually able to get to this point. This is the fremont street exit, fremont and folsom street. And so here are the cars streaming into the city really the only way you can right now. Of course, it is only 5 30. So we are going to see a lot more people trying to get to this point and from what we understand, it takes more than an hour from oakland. Take an alternate if you can. A paint spill happened on the bridge westbound. Even cars covered in paint as well as the roadway. We have crews working on cleaning that up. But in the meantime, it is a traffic mess. Cleanup is expected by 6 30 this morning. Live in San Francisco, anne makevoc, kpix 5. A propos, a new report confirms the grim news for bay area commuters. Traffic congestion is at its worst since recordkeeping began. Kpix 5s keit do joins us live from milpitas with more including a stretch of highway new to the worst top ten list although the bay bridge right now is probably numero uno, kiet. Reporter absolutely. We were trying to decide on a live location to this report and came to the sad realization that there are a lot of locations to choose from. So we ended up on the second worst commute and thats 880 southbound between san leandro and milpitas. Thats the second worst. And if you have been on it you know it is horrendous but the top spot goes to, thats it, 880 im sorry, i80 westbound from hercules into the bay bridge. Traffic experts have calculated that it is delaying drivers there 9,000 hours every day. They got that number in part by counting the number of cars that start to slow down between below 35 miles an hour. So heres the rest of the list. Third worst is in the evening 101 southbound from fair oaks in sunnyvale to oakland road in san jose. The fourth worst is going back eastbound over the bay bridge in the evening. Now, using gps, cell phone tagging and road sensors they have calculated congestion has increased 3 in 2014 the latest data and, in fact, congestion has increased 40 since 2010 when the Great Recession was at its lowest point. Its bound to get worse because we are ating 2100 jobs a we are adding 2100 jobs a month. So contra costa and santa clara counties are planning to put sales tax hikes on the ballot next year to fund more Construction Projects. Also, improving bart, caltrain and adding more cameras, sensors an metering lights and toll and metering lights lights and toll lanes will help out, as well. We want to mention one commute that went from 18th to the 10th worst going from East San Jose 101 northbound from story road all the way to montague expressway. Kiet do, kpix 5. The Highway Patrol is investigating the latest shooting on interstate 80 in the east bay, the fourth since early november. It happened yesterday afternoon on westbound 80 at the San Pablo Dam road exit. Detectives say someone in a sedan pulled up alongside a ford escape and started shooting.

Theres just one lane of traffic open getting off the bridge into San Francisco. Earlier this morning, paint spill is reported across lanes and since then crews have been on scene trying to clear this up. They dont expect to have westbound 80 at fremont street. They dont expect to have all lanes reopened until at least 6 30 this morning. In the meantime, traffic has been bumpertobumper if we can get those pictures of the traffic heading across the bridge. Its just been a sea of brake lights with over onehour delays. 75 minutes between the bay bridge toll plaza and San Francisco. More coming up. Take it slow. 5 41.

Many questions remain about reported criminal charges against a High School Water polo player from lafayette. There are claims the 15year old player from acalanes high hit an opponent during a game against san joses Bellarmine College prep. It was described as an aggressive hard hit. Kcbs radio obtained video of the september incident. This is a screen shot. Reporter holly quan watched the video and described it. Reporter you can see the acalanes player in a black cap and he looks like he passes the ball, got smacked in the head first maybe but he gets rid of the ball and then you can see him sort of like looking like he is grabbing his attacker and pushing him under the water and then he brings his knee up and snaps back a little bit like, you know, like he is kneed him in the face and then bellarmine player emerges from the Water Holding his nose like he is really injured. So you can kind of see what happened there. Theres a lot going on in that video there and i would only presume that what the d. A.

The present circumstances of our country and Police Violence especially to community of color sets a context and backdrop for whats happened here. Police say woods had stabbed someone earlier that day. Still had the knife in his hand and refused to drop it. But there is doubt about the Police Version of the events and whether or not woods actually posed a threat. Well check back in with liza on this traffic alert.
