In the meantime there is still a significant backup and it will take you an hour to get from the martinez breeze to the maccarthur maze expected to be tough going and heavy traffic from richmond down to emeryville.

Coming up in the next traffic report we will have a live cam review of what that commute looks like on that stretch of the east bay roadway.
