Traffic out there. We havent had any major problems so far this morning. Dublin interchange interchange caltrans overnight in the eastbound direction of 580. They had a couple of lanes shut down in greenville. They should be in the process of picking that up. Westbound 580 slow leaving the altamont pass. Its going to be heavy from grant line in patches to the livermore valley. Bay bridge computing leaving oakland still fine at the toll plaza. Hopefully toll lane number 11 has been reopened. It had been shut down for a while. 880 237 in the south bay is free and clear of any major problems but if you a north bay driver its not affecting major freeway traffic. But pedrick road has been shut down since overnight because of the tomato spill accident. These are pictures of the accident scene. The cleanup has to happen before they can reopen pedrick road. I80 close by it still open again, this is in dixon outside davis. 5 01. We have been hearing about a possible bay bridge fix for months now but now it just might happen. And a labor day opening is back on the table. Kpix 5 reporter cate caugiran shows us how the feds got involved. Good morning. Reporter good morning, frank. Now, in this letter that kpix 5 obtained, the federal Highway Administration gave caltrans the green light to put that temporary fix that may involve opening the bay bridge by Labor Day Weekend as originally planned. The feds cleared caltrans to strategically place 3 steel shims in the swiveling bearings to keep them from moving up and down in an earthquake. The feds say this will adequately replace the function of the failed anchor rods and they say we see no reason to delay opening the bridge to traffic i think everyones focus right now including people who i have been critical of in the whole process i think is properly focused on safety and getting people off the old bridge and on the new bridge as soon as possible. Reporter heres a projected timeline. Up to a week and a half to install the shims, and another two to four weeks to notify the public, airports and businesses about the change that may be enough time to get the bridge open just after labor day. But this is not a done deal yet. Today a threeperson committee including the head of caltrans will have a Conference Call to decide if they will open the bridge by Labor Day Weekend. Live on treasure island, cate caugiran, back to you. Should we gear up then for a possible labor day opening . Reporter from what we understand, theres little work to do except install these retrofits but we heard last week Highway Patrol started signing up officers for those Labor Day Weekend shifts. So its not completely off the table yet. That could be good news. Cate caugiran live for us at treasure island, thank you. City workers in hayward may go on strike this morning.

High pressure building in the bay area and looks like it will stick around for a few days to help to warm these temperatures. So probably running just slightly above seasonal numbers for today and the next couple of days. Otherwise we are still going to see some patchy fog out at the coastline. Still a lot more patchy around the bay area not as thick as yesterday so its going to break up earlier meaning more sunshine and some warmer weather continuing to see a couple of patches flirting with the coastline, otherwise plenty of sunshine inside the bay and the valleys.
