the tolls. lights are off, but earlier today, as you said, it was quite a mess. quite a backup. it was a colosal backup. some people spent 2 1/2 hours to get to downtown san francisco. in one case, almost an hour and a half to get from 880 to the toll plaza. the reason, street toll lanes were shut down friday night to allow lane 17 to be converted to a fast track only. that meant some confusion for drivers who detoured, who were detoured to their lanes. the confusion led to giant backups that we saw today and we should expect the same kind of backups tomorrow, unless people learned from what happened today. but when you have detours, it's not easy to get ahead of them. crews should have lane 17 fast tracked and ready to go for monday morning when things should be back to normal, or better than normal if the fast track is working. but that good commute should last for three days because they will shut down all the

lanes completely on august 28 at 8:00. that is a wednesday night and of course, that is because they will convert traffic lanes over to the new eastern span of the bay bridge and that is going to be closed then until wednesday morning. i'm sorry, tuesday morning, september 3, at 5:00 a.m. so, some adventures in traffic lying ahead as we get used to these new patterns. reporting live, kpix5. >> don't forget, the bridge will be closing down next week and we are counting down the days until wednesday night's closure of the old span and the opening of the new span tuesday morning as don says, september 3, you can find all the details on our website and be sure to check out our survival guide at kpix.com/bridge. the stanford, cal football rivalry is one of the biggest games in college football. the school's swap duty each year, but the construction could mean a new venue for the

be moved back to memorial stadium in 2015. future big games would be played in berkeley in odd number years and at stanford stadium, even number years. contrary to long-time tradition. >> i think it's a shame when you see that go. >> a couple guys who wouldn't mind a chance to play in a new nfl stadium, cal football players, ben sells. >> it would be nice. >> but for fans, it wouldn't be the same. >> you are on campus, and with all the excitement and craziness. >> in berkeley, kpix5. >> here's how the seating capacity for each venue stacks up. levi stadium in santa clara holds 68,500. uc berkeley's memorial stadium seats 63,000 and stanford stadium holds 50,000 spectators. while the future of next year's big game remains up in the air, a new generation of golden bears is heading to the
