different than when we last spoke. it's been out there since 10:00 last night. they have a full hard closure of 680 to try to get all this debris cleaned up. they thought they would be open by 6:00 a.m., although they have started to sort of push back on the time that the tow trucks and all of the cleanup crews can get there. southbound 680 at marshview. they have a detour in place right off and then back on again. but as you can see, the delay is back now past gold hill road. so the best detour would be 80 all the way down to 780 to benicia or you could take 80 to columbus parkway and
