A short time later, CHP announced that the #1 lane of the off-ramp would remain closed for an unknown amount of time as Caltrans crews made repairs.
The #2 and #3 lanes will remain open. Traffic maps indicate that the lane closure is causing a back-up for drivers arriving in San Francisco.
Drivers should anticipate delays getting off of I-280 at that exit. CHP officials said they would provide updates accordingly.
