Thank you john were checking in on the bay bridge 80 wesson to San Francisco still stacked up at the toll plaza and a lot of these folks that you see here they were late getting to pay kates because they were stuck on the shore freeway we had a hot spot up enrichment and so that held back a lot of folks so they made it now its a jam from the bottom of the maze, but still under 15 minutes to make it an highway for me still have a motorcycle crash working in pittsburgh westbound at bailey we have 2 lanes closed 2 left lanes blocked so its crawling out of pittsburgh right now but keeping traffic light on the bay 0. 5 45 minutes because of that crash antioch over to concord will check more slow downs coming up. That was the announcement to passengers over the weekend and this morning we just found out moments ago that they will be docking at noon. At the port of oakland that infected ship with 21
