[edit] Pinole mudslide
On Sunday, April 30, 2006, a retaining wall weakened by recent rains broke, causing a mudslide that blocked lanes on westbound Interstate 80 and forced the closure of the Pinole Valley Road onramp. Cleanup is currently underway, with the right lane expected to be closed for several additional weeks. While traffic on this corridor has only been backed up to Cummings Skyway during the morning commute, the news of the mudslide did worsen traffic significantly on alternate routes, especially on Tuesday, and the steps taken to rectify this incident were seen as wasted effort, if well intentioned. BART added additional trains to its service that Monday morning to its Richmond line, but most of its passengers had to get past the mudslide to get to the stations anyway. The commute past the slide to the Bay Bridge Maze was effectively light on 80, but on Tuesday due to a fire near the Caldecott Tunnel, drivers trying to take the alternate route of 680 had their efforts wasted. This was pretty much a case of too much hype.
That said, anyone know when the cleanup will finish? --Geopgeop 18:47, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] MacArthur Maze
Shouldn't there be some mention of the MacArthur Maze in this article? Understanding that it does not go in the junction box, I ask where does it go? --Geopgeop 03:12, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
