Injury Crash On EB SR237, Flooding I-280 Adding To Traffic Woes

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- Motorists trying to escape commute problems Thursday morning will have a tough time of it -- from multiple problems traveling north to south on U.S. Highway 101 as far south as Gilroy leading into the San Jose metro area to the east-west travel on State Route 237 on the eastbound side along the Great America Parkway.

The third lane is blocked, bringing delays for commuters, the California Highway Patrol reported at 9:24 a.m.

For those motorists rounding that route to head north on Highway 101 to Palo Alto will also have issues negotiating heavy traffic located at University Avenue in East Palo Alto. The ramp is blocked as of 9:23 a.m., according to 511.org.

The weather appears to be impacted the commute in a fury, with flooding in San Mateo County on the southbound side of Interstate 280 at west State Route 84 in Woodside where the right lane is causing backups.

More on I-280 in that county is an obstacle blocking the southbound side south of Alpine Road in Menlo Park.
