Low 90s, 90 degrees the afternoon high in concord. A look at your extended forecast coming up in a little bit. It is 6 00 on the dot. Good morning, sal. Good morning. Now, we have a problem eastbound interstate 80 off of the highway to the Richmond Bridge. A crash, there is confusion when you come up on that ramp. Eastbound here you cant get off the freeway. People are going up the freeway using central to get to 580. A lot of people go Richmond Bridge from the east bay to marin, thats causing a problem there. Give yourself plenty of extra time in that area. When you get to the bay bridge, driving westbound, traffic is moving along okay. Its a 20minute delay at the toll plaza. No problems here on oaklands freeway, 880 north and south in front. Eastbound 580 oakland , there is a crash eastbound 580 involving a truck that was a camper pulling a trailer and all the eastbound lanes are closed. Traffic is backed up from highway 13. Westbound traffic is okay. Highway 4 might be heavier today
