Close call on I 580?

Hell yeah we want it. And Hell no, not on my street. We're so screwed before we even turn the key.

 

There's been some construction going on near Livermore, Richmond bridge ? 15 miles to the 5 .. hmm ?

 

But no one would confuse Livermore with Oakland. Also, going east, there is construction but I can't think of anywhere that would be appropriate to pull trucks off the road. I don't know, stumped on this one.

 

I think the OP might be mistaken about the 5. Either he is wrong about what interstate he was heading to or he was way wrong on the mileage. I think he must be talking about the 580 880 interchange.

 

Went through there last night ... basically no trucks past Grand on 580 east bound. First sign is just before the 80w, 880s, 580e split just before the bridge. Second sign is just before the 580e, 980s split.

 

Which is close to the Richmond but far away from the 5. It's an easy mistake to make. In heavy traffic, they don't give you much warning.

 

I got that the OP basically didn't see the 880 and 980 signs, then couldn't do anything at the gtfo now sign at Grand, so just rolled with it down to the 5.
