Kpix 5 jackie ward is live near the bay bridge this morning with more on the hurdles involved and why the step doesnt spell the end of demolition work. Jackie . Reporter and a lot of preparation goes into removing this last piece of the bay bridge. We actually have the bay bridge spokesperson lea robinson leech with us, dark and early. Thanks for being here again. What a day. What an engineering feat for you guys. This is incredible. We are completing the process of bringing down 100 Million Pounds of steel. The high style that is obvious to the public, we are ahead of schedule, under budget, and we have been environmental student stewards and we are very excited and it opens up the vistas, it is incredible in terms of the bike path and the views all the way around. We are very pleased at this landmark moment. Ahead of schedule, but this was a complicated process. It involved a lot of environmental factors, a lot of n us about any challenges that crews may have run into over the years . Well, it has been a great deal of planning that had to go into it. Because it took as much precision to bring down the bridge as it took to build it back in the 1930s. So all of the planning, all of the time and effort from our teams, our experimentle teams, we are very pleased with where we are right now. And right now we are waiting to check out the tide situation, for the sun to come up, between 6 30 and noon today, is when we will start to we will visually with our eyes, we will be able to see movement mid morning or so. Can you explain that process . Yes, there will be some cutting that will take place on the edges of the truss. It will be lowered with the assistance of the tide and placed on two barges and barged over to the port of oakland where it will be cut into small pieces and recycled and taken throughout the bay area for recycling. And this is just phase two. Phase three has yet to begin, right . In the coming months, the Marine Foundation will be imploded, and disassembled in a testimony of different ways so in a number of different ways so we are pleased by the end of 2017, the demolition completely finished.

We will give you a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza in just a minute. But first, lets start with some accidents throughout the bay area. Starting here in bay point, westbound 4, before bailey road. It is a rollover crash. Out there, blocking the left lane. And the suv is on its roof there, so it is causing some delays at 17 miles an hour. So pretty slow conditions, if youre headed to westbound 4. And how is it looking for the rest of Contra Costa County . It will go there it is. There you go. Look at the realtime traffic graphic. And 17 miles an hour in that area. And looks pretty good once you get to concord and 242 to walnut creek on 680 as well. Moving over to the major problem of the morning, the Altamont Pass, and look at that. 9 miles an hour. Coming up 205 in tracy. And this is all due to a solo car crash on westbound 580 after grant line road and emergency crews out there, blocking that left lane. And trying to clear out the situation, for you. But if youre headed out this way, give yourself plenty of time to get to this. As you can see it, is a 7 minute drive from Altamont Pass to 27 minute drive from Altamont Pass, but after two hours it will be 36 minutes. Best to get out the door right now. And all eyes on the bay bridge. With the demolition of the old truss there. And so official high tide today is at 12 26. And over five feet. Almost six feet. And sun is up at 7 00. We will be able to see what is going on out there. A live weather camera past the bay bridge toward the lights of the estuary, of the port of oakland, as well. And when were able to see the lights, that means our visibility is unlimited at this time. Would he have clear skies. And we have clear skies. Temperaturewise, in the 40s. It is now 52 in oakland and 52 in San Francisco. And the winds are under 10 miles an hour. But will increase 15 to 25 during the day and stronger gusts 30 to 40 along the coast and the highest elevation, speaking of the coast. Along the entire yellow area, all the way into monterey bay, we do have a beach hazard statement and it basically says heads up if youre heading to the coast and we have sneaker waves, also some happening waves, and some dangerous rip currents. And on shore we go. Temperatures in the mid60s at rock away beach. Back through moss beach. Into montera. And half moon bay, upper 60s. Low 70s around the rim of the bay. Average High Temperature in San Francisco, 62. It gives you a feeling it is a little bit unseasonably mild for this time of the year. 70s away from the bay. Topping out in the mid 70s but guess what, this is not the warmest day of the workweek. We will talk about that. And rain chances coming up later in the broadcast. Thanks, roberta.

Our winds yesterday, northwest, 10 to 20 and gusts up to 30 and 40 miles an hour. If you are out in the winds, you know what im talking about. Very similar conditions again today.

And in the low 50s. The 50s are pretty common around the rim of the bay from oakland into San Francisco. And so we do have an area of low pressure well to the north of the bay area. And we have High Pressure nessling in from the west. Because of that pressure gradient, we have a little bit of a tight squeeze on things and therefore the winds pick up. And beach hazard statement in effect due to the disturbance to the north of the bay area. And that is for that entire yellow area, encompassing our entire coastline, all the way south into monterey bay. And some waves happening onshore. And some very dangerous rip currents, and some sneaker waves, and i hope we can be very mindful of that.

And temperatures spike above average, into the weekend. Beginning with even today. And satellite radar, area of low pressure, to the north. And then to the west, High Pressure building in. From the west. And the ends result is cloud free conditions today as we watch the click tick on by. Wednesday morning commute, it will be dry and pleasant. And then we begin to see a shield of clouds. From the north. To the south. By wednesday overnight. And then watch what happens thursday morning. With the precipitation, playing tag with the far reaches of the north bay. Sweeping across the central bay. And if we see any rain, as projected, it will be very minimal. Travel weather across the state today. We are talking about 60s, 70s in the Central Valley. Low 70s ukiah. Sweet in the high sierra. Corn like snow conditions by mid Morning Hours in the sierra.
