Highway 80 Onramp In Richmond Closed Until Afternoon Due To Big-Rig Crash

RICHMOND (CBS SF) -- An Interstate Highway 80 onramp closure in Richmond that was prompted by a big-rig crash early Friday morning has still not been lifted, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The Highway 80 westbound onramp at Carlson Boulevard was closed after a big-rig overturned, according to the CHP. The crash was reported just before 1 a.m.

CHP issued a travel advisory around 2:36 a.m., and initially expected the onramp to remain closed until around 7:30 a.m. or even until 1 p.m.

They now estimate the on-ramp will reopen at around 10:30 a.m.
