James all right john thank you, lets get a quick check of the bridges here as we look at traffic around the bay, nothing major out there slowing it down. And it certainly is a nice ride here on the westbound 80 right at the toll plaza. And once you get through the gates its about its excellent timing as you head into San Francisco. So far so good on that front and look at here the san mateo bridge actually looking a little better as well youre right on westbound 92, the right hand side there from hayward out to foster citys moving without any problems the only thing on the hayward side of the span of note is a couple cars got into an accident on southbound 80 just north of the west, a street offramp there both to the right hand shoulder, so theyre not talking any lanes but traffic is slowing down just a little bit is folks drive by and take a look from here, lets jump over to the Richmond Sandra fell bridge. This has been a problem spot all morning. Or at least in the last hour or so nothing out of the ordinary its just your average slow down as you make your way west bound 5. 80 through the toll plaza and out towards marin county once you get past the toll gate, youre moving just fine marin county into San Francisco. The one southbound right across the Golden Gate Bridge also moving without any incident as you can see youre making good time from one end of the span to the or whether traffic checks in a bit. Now lets get back to the headlines.
