August 5, 2019 Three lanes were shut, however, because the overturned RV and scattered debris took up three lanes.
Only the right-hand lane was open to cars for several hours. Traffic moving in the reverse commute direction was backed up to the Fruitvale neighborhood in Oakland before the CHP said that all lanes reopened around 10:20 a.m.
