Weight steve, i can read your lips. Its one of those things. Okay, we have to make up a forecast. Okay. We will talk more about that. You know about what is happening in traffic right now. I do, as a matter of fact traffic is doing very well and weve had mostly fair conditions and traffic continues to look good and carpooling is not something you can do with social distancing so all the lanes are open and all the toll plazas dont have anyone taking money although you will be charged in the mail. That have been no major issues on bridges and highways so far. Already looking to be another rough day there for stocks after the three major indexes fell yesterday between one and 2 1 2 the dow dropping nearly 600 points and the s p 500 and the nasdaq dropping 89. Right now it looks like another 500 point drop are so for the dow. The big drop was partially part of the bottom of the crude oil prices, oil prices have we can because of oversupply and a collapse in Global Demand due to the decline
Francisco, 67 in oakland, 71 in san jose and 72 in concord. We will talk more about the warmup and what you can expect in your neighborhood coming up. Lets check in with Gianna Franco for a look at traffic. Lets look at the roadways. We have had her eyes all morning long on this trouble spot along add. I should not say trouble spot, it is a longterm construction project. It should be opened up by 7 00 am this morning. In the meantime, it is causing a backup near northbound 880, from the coliseum your oakland arena to 23rd and 29th avenue. That is where the osis only one the traffic is bottlenecking as you make your way northbound 880. There a lot of break lights coming out of oakland this morning, 42 minute drive time. That is how long it will take you to go from 238 all the way to the macarthur maze. Maps are showing speeds down to 3 Miles Per Hour. 580 is wide open. You can use that as an alternate. Traffic patterns continue along southbound 880 to the san mateo bridge. I am Anne Mac
The city is officially 51 and cell southwest and the pressure is up and its still very close. Low clouds continue and it left behind a lot of loud cover so that will take a while to clear from northwest to southeast and look for the neck system to go up but highs today are inching closer that average and 880 s. Is still picking up. Thank you very much, we do have slow traffic here that i want to mention which is quite shocking for some people. Maybe youre just listening but look at the slow down it 880 northbound driving past the coliseum because of road work so not the way to get to downtown oakland. Does a pretty good alternate on 580 westbound or if youre going a short distance use international and that of using the freeway, southbound is not affected but dont let this catch you by surprise, its been a minute, not literally been a while since weve had slow traffic so use 580 westbound. Lets go back to dave. We are starting with breaking news in the east bay city of richmond where f
