KTVU KTVU Mornings On 2 At 6am April 22, 2016

Temperatures in the 60s coast, bay and also inland. Sal, that rain as promised. And yes, traffic issues already, we have slow traffic and wet conditions. People slowing down in the rain, steve. You will see the traffic here on the Golden Gate Bridge though, that looks light and there have been no major collisions, this reported inmarin county, the other side of the Richmond Bridge report of a brand new traffic collision, just happened, three vehicles in the center divide. Looks like they are blocking lanes one and two. That just happened a few moments ago. Chp is on the way. Lets look at 880 northbound and southbound, traffic here looks good well, looks wet, hard to tell with this picture but the wind is also going to be a story as steve mentioned. If you look at the south bay commute we have slow traffic. Looks like its let up a little. The traffic so far in the south bay looks good. 601, in about an hour San Francisco public utility crews may have a better idea of what caused a major sinkhole in the citys Pacific Heights neighborhood. Crews are estimating at least two days before that road will be reopened, christian . Reporter yeah, thats the latest estimate we have, sal. This is sacramento street in San Francisco. Not one of the major arteries but a lot of people take this to get east west through San Francisco. If your commute takes that you way you will be rerouted. If you come on california street you may see more traffic on california as people make their way eastbound and westbound. You can see this is the sinkhole, about 10 feet deep, 20 feet across. A major sinkhole. And earlier we saw water running through it. If you look carefully you might see that, at the bottom. Ktvu was on scene as the sinkhole formed yesterday. We hear reports it started as a depression in the street. As we were interviewing a witness the sinkhole gave way. Somebody called in about 8 30 8 30 this morning. Reporter Charles Sheehan from the San Francisco Public Utilities commission, we talked earlier, you said a crew was coming out. Getting an eta on their arrival and what today will look like. Sure. Theyve been mobilizing during the night. They made the calls of the utility continues to come out and mark the other utility infrastructure on the street. They will get here 6 30, 7 30, begin what we call a Condition Assessment and then start to make repairs and will continue until they fix it, fill up the sinkhole and repave the street. Reporter two or three days . Thats the best estimate. Hopefully Mother Nature wont slow us down too much. Reporter we were seeing a moment ago theres water at the bottom of the sinkhole. Is that normal . And, is the rain we see this morning going to contribute to an ongoing or possibly make it a worse problem . I dont think the rain is going to make the problem any more significant than it is. The water you see down there is probably from the rain collection, from the brief shower we had a couple of hours ago. And of course the sewer pipe is leaking. But they are going to get in there and begin to make repairs this morning. Reporter in terms of the sewer leaking, not to be too graphic but is this raw sewage that is running through that could be leaking . Its a sewer pipe, it is sewage. They do remove the dirt where the leak is occurring before they patch up the street. So they will do that through the course of the repairs. Reporter Charles Sheehan from San Francisco Public Utilities commission. Well check with you later. Thank you very much. You heard it, the crews on their way out here. Expected to take two or three days to complete the repair. That crew first going to assess what exactly happened. Repair that sewer line. Remove the dirt because that dirt as you heard is sewage running through the area, its contaminated so they have to get the dirt out of the area. Again two or three days before it completely opens up to traffic. That is worse than we originally heard certainly. Make for a tough cleanup. Thank you. 6 05 is the time. An autopsy will be performed later today on music icon prince. The record industry and his fans worldwide are still trying to come to grips with his sudden and shocking death. 57 years old, grammy and oscar award winner, found unresponsive yesterday in an elevator at his studio compound outside of minneapolis.

Were talking about the east shore and other commutes when we come back. Theres been heavy rain for some but theres been a line stretching in San Francisco. Where its coming down. Welcome back. Its friday, april 22nd. Im pam cook. Were watching rain that is moving in as steve mentioned. I know Mount Davidson has had heavy rain as well. East bay looks to be a general rain. First part of the system arrived. 50s and 60s on the temperatures. The breezes rip roaring for some. Gusts 25 to 30, the next band is beginning to move in, there will be a strong one later this afternoon. Late morning, early afternoon. Rainfall, quarter inch to half inch to maybe 3 4, not too shabby. Its here. Sal, 6 31. What do you have sir . Oh, were just talking about prince come here kimmie. Come here. This is my one of the producers. Hi. All right. Just in case you are wondering who i talk to, its a whole room full of people here. Ask kimmie if shes going to nine rounds today. Hey, kimmie, are you going to nine rounds today . Yes. She says yes. Whatever that means, you guys. Good morning. Lets go out and i know what nine rounds is. I know some of you do. Lets look at 80, 33minute drive as you head out to the macarthur maze. No major problems, however the wet weather is going to make it slower. The good thing we have going today is that its friday and typically its lighter volume. So what we do is we get a little bit of break but some of that break is taken away if you will by the rain. The bay bridge toll plaza is backed up from the maze, cant see it now but it is, about 15 to 20minute delay. This is 880 so the wet weather that was not here when we went on the air at 4 00 has made it to the east bay. If youre driving out to the commute here in the other part of the east bay, southbound 880, you can see for yourself, not as bad as it was in the last few days. So volume is indeed lighter but i would still advise giving yourself extra time because of the wet commute. Its 6 32. Back to the desk.
