Expect A Slow Commute With Hot Spots, Construction Across Bay Area Roadways

BAY AREA, CA — Heavy traffic, roadwork, and lingering crash delays slowed Bay Area commuters Tuesday morning, with a 45-minute delay at the MacArthur Maze, congestion stretching from Petaluma through Marin County, and problems in the South Bay.

Traffic is slow on Interstate 80 well beyond the MacArthur Maze. Drivers should expect a 45-minute delay Tuesday morning.

The California Highway Patrol also reported residual delays east of the toll plaza in Hayward.

The crash has been cleared, and all lanes were open as of a 7 a.m. update, but drivers should still expect delays.

Heavy traffic also slows Highway 101 from Petaluma through Marin County.

Caltrans closed the right shoulder of eastbound Interstate 580 between Main Street in San Quentin and the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge in Richmond for bridge work. That closure began at 4 a.m. and is scheduled to continue until 2 p.m. Tuesday.

Farther south, Caltrans closed a southbound Highway 101 lane between Coyote Creek Golf Drive in San Jose and Cochrane Road in Morgan Hill for roadwork.

Drivers approaching the San Mateo Bridge on westbound Highway 92 face lingering delays following a crash.
