but Caltrans crews are still working to remove an overturned big rig that's stalling traffic from the East Bay to San Francisco. This vehicle is off the westbound Interstate 80 just before the Bay bridge toll plaza. KTVU James Torres is live near the scene. And, James, what do you see? >> Well, Sal, the effort is underway to try to get that big rig out of here. I'm not sure if it's directly affecting some traffic. We are just a few minutes after 6:00 this morning, so this is at the time where traffic is going to start to get a little heavier. Metering lights are on at the Bay bridge toll plaza, and we're starting to see a little bit of a backup here. But where the actual big rig is, that's off of I-80, that's on the ramp here, coming off of, that, gosh, I just lost my thought there for a second. It's the off ramp, coming off of 80, that last exit just before the Bay bridge toll plaza. If you're heading into San Francisco out of Oakland here. So it's not on the actual freeway here, but they do have that off ramp, shut down at this point here. You can see the two tow trucks that are just on either side of the big rig. It is still on its side at this point. You can see part of it that is just poking up above the walls. The concrete walls of the overpass. It's carrying about 73,000 pounds of rice. Doesn't sound like any of that actually spilled onto the freeway. There's no fuel leak or any oil leak either. No hazmat crews on the scene here. So for the most part, it's pretty clean. At least as clean as an overturned big rig could be. The challenge is, of course, is getting that very heavy truck back up on its wheels and moving it out of the way. They usually require a couple tow trucks to do that. You see the crane that is up in the air right now with the cables connected to the truck. The effort is underway to try to get that out of the way, of course, the off ramp there still shut down at this point. The traffic here from the Bay bridge toll plaza extending far back just a little bit here, metering lights are still on. So if you are making your way to San Francisco from the city of Oakland, it's going to take you a couple minutes, probably a couple minutes longer than what you're normally used to at this time of the hour. CHP says they're still not sure about how much longer it's going to take them to actually clear all of this out of the way. But of course,
