I-580 freeway collapse in Oakland

Crap. The I-580 overpass collapsed due to a tanker truck crash this morning in Oakland (thankfully, there were no fatalities). This the freeway I take to get home from San Francisco. Combined with Bay Bridge construction (apparently, not due to be completed until 2013), the collapse of the I-580 overpass makes living in the East Bay even less appealing for someone whose entire Bay Area social network is on the other side.

It’s hard to find a good map that shows where the freeway collapsed. This is the best one I’ve seen.

Now, how to do delete that section of the freeway from my GPS navigation system?

    You can’t delete a freeway from your GPS maps but you should be able to put a roadblock on the specific road thus making the software finding you an alternative route.

    I ate at the Miyako Hotel in Los Angeles’s Japantown two days ago. The grill black cod, which was recommended by the waiter, was ‘OISHII’. If you like ramen, Daikokuya is located right across the street from the Miyako Hotel. It was very crowded. Take care!

    Not all the East Bay. Berkleyites are largely unaffected.
