Multiple lanes were stopped for hours Thursday afternoon on the Altamont Pass in Alameda County due to a big-rig collision on eastbound Interstate Highway 580, according to CHP.
Shortly after 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, the large rig and an overturned automobile collided on westbound I-580 west of Grant Line Rd. in Alameda County, prompting the Dublin CHP office to issue a severe traffic advisory. A picture of the trailer that appeared to have been separated from the big-rig cab of the involved truck was posted on X later.
ETO unknown. Your best bet might be to use one of the alternate routes along Altamont Pass Road, Patterson Pass Road, or Tesla Road. There will be delays everywhere.EOiTmpEHWU https://t.co/TJZ59SHzRUpic.twitter.com
As at approximately 3:50 p.m., CHP verified that all lanes have reopened. On a relatively calm post-holiday traffic day, the lane restrictions caused a significant backlog.
In order to avoid the region, drivers were encouraged to utilize alternate routes such as Altamont Pass Road, Patterson Pass Road, and Tesla Road and to anticipate residual delays.
