Bridge approximately 30 gallons or so. And it affected all the lanes of traffic. Its just west of the fremont offramp. So right now we are diverting traffic off the fremont street.

Its likely no surprise for daily commuters a paint spill and now this. A new report shows bay area Traffic Congestion just keeps getting worse. Kpix 5s kiet do is live in milpitas with more on one of the worst commutes including a new stretch of highway in the top 10. Reporter we are live at the second worst commute in the bay area and that is 880 southbound in the morning from san leandro into milpitas. If you have been on this stretch, you know, it is horrible. But it actually gets worse. The absolute worst commute in the bay area is i80 eastbound from hercules to the bay bridge. Traffic experts have calculated that it is delaying drivers on that corridor nearly 9,000 hours every day. They got that number in part by counting the number of cars that start to slow down below 35 miles an hour. So heres the rest of that list. Third worst commute in the bay area is in the evening, 101 southbound from fair oaks in sunnyvale down to oakland road in san jose. And fourth worst is going back eastbound over the bay bridge in the evening. Using gps, cell phone tagging and road sensors they have calculated congestion increased 3 in 2014 which is the latest data. In fact, congestion has increased 40 since 2010, when the Great Recession was at its lowest point and its bound to get worse because the region is adding 2100 jobs a month. To tame traffic contra costa and santa clara counties are planning to put sales tax hikes on the ballot next year to fund more Construction Projects and improving bart and caltrain, adding more camera sensors and metering lights and toll lanes will help, too. Finally, we want to give an Honorable Mention to one commute that jumped from 18th worst to 10th worst and that is from san jose 101 northbound story road into montague expressway.

Coming up, can the sharks continue to fight more faith on the road . Was this the final game nfl style until st. Louis . Kickoff coming up.

Reporter do family get togethers sometimes feel like you need an interpreter . Youre not alone. The government report that demand for interpreters and translators will be up 46 by 2022. Translators and interpreters are not interchangeable. Interpreters typically focus on the spoken word. Translators deal with the written word. This means many translators are able to work from home. The globalization of business is driving growth in the field but there are other factors at play, too. For instance, interpreters are often employed in courtrooms, hospitals and schools. As the u. S. Becomes increasingly more diverse, those professionals who specialize in law and healthcare should have their choice of jobs. Wages vary based on expertise and employer. But the average pay for both interpreters and translators in the bay area is 47,600,000. Or more. One big plus to the field, it capital be fully automated.
