Traffic on I-880 Caused by Gravel Spill

Two lanes are open but traffic remains backed up.

A gravel spill closed several lanes on southbound Interstate Highway 880 in Oakland this morning.

At about 10:15 a.m., a truck with an open top spilled gravel on the three left lanes of the highway just north of the Broadway exit, a California Highway Patrol officer said.

Big-rigs were allowed to use Interstate Highway 580 while the lanes were closed for the cleanup, according to the CHP.
