Overturned Big Rigs Cause Major Delays on East Bay Highways
OAKLAND, CA (September 11, 2024) — Motorists in the East Bay experienced significant delays Wednesday morning due to two separate incidents involving overturned big rigs, according to highway authorities.
The California Highway Patrol reported that westbound lanes of State Route 24 near the Caldecott Tunnel were closed following a major traffic collision, prompting officials to advise drivers to seek alternate routes. As of now, no timeframe for reopening these lanes has been provided, and it remains unclear if there were any injuries from the East Bay Highway big rig crash.
Simultaneously, Caltrans crews were working to clear the northbound lanes on Interstate 238 leading to northbound Interstate 880. Details on when these lanes would reopen were not immediately available.
Drivers are encouraged to plan for potential delays and consider alternative travel options as cleanup and investigations continue.
