One in San Francisco, southbound 101 at cesar chavez, an injury crash may be blocking the right lane and the onramp as well. In the south bay, northbound 101, the tully road onramp should be reopened shortly. There was a fire from last night. Its still closed. So in the meantime take the story onramp to northbound 101.
