Caltrans shut down lanes on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge on Monday for an emergency repair that set off a traffic jam during the afternoon commute. Caltrans said maintenance crews on Monday morning discovered “unsound, spalling concrete” of the eastbound upper deck near pier No. 25, which is closer to the Marin County side of the span. Spalling is when the concrete breaks apart. Caltrans closed the No. 2 lane on the westbound upper deck and the No. 2 and No. 3 lanes on the eastbound lower deck.

Nicasio residents are urging the Marin Municipal Water District to reconsider a proposal to add storage to the nearby reservoir. Over the past two weeks, residents have told district officials that they fear the project could exacerbate flooding along Nicasio and Halleck creeks, and that the community would see no benefit from the added storage at Nicasio Reservoir. The community uses well water and is not served by the reservoir or the district’s supply.
