I went through a little while ago. It looks more-or-less normal. The dirt slopes on the sides have been sprayed with that green seed/mulch stuff.

Video of my drive through is on my FB page.

As of 4 pm, the extra train remains in Amtrak web site at least through Wednesday.

Saw the change in the freeway sign messages between 10am and 1pm today - good to hear they got it open. Now - to see how many who rode the Surfliners during the road closure will stick with the train...

Good— glad they got it back within their deadline—and looking forward to having our cars back in their proper 5-car Capitol consists!

Oh ya, Jones- like you were having trouble getting a seat.

Eh.....It should be a toll road to pay for itself. As should all the "Freeways"

The highway taxes we pay are the tolls, only we don't have to give the automatic toll collecting companies a piece of the action--cheaper!
