Pothole impacting traffic on I-680 near Fremont

Lanes are closed on northbound I-680 near N. Mission Boulevard due to a large pothole in the roadway. The CHP estimates lanes fully reopening at 1 a.m. Thursday.

Drivers on I-680 in Fremont saw a slow commute Wednesday as Caltrans crews worked to repair a large pothole in a northbound lane. 

The pothole was in the right lane on the freeway near N. Mission Boulevard and Via San Gabriel.  Caltrans said around 5:38 p.m. that the pothole was fixed though crews were still working to reopen all lanes.

Drivers experienced delays on on-ramps and Mission Boulevard.

Only one center lane on the freeway was open around 3:20 p.m., police said.

Traffic was diverted to Niles Canyon Road and north from I-880 to I-238 and I-580 in Hayward.

KTVU's live traffic map showed heavy traffic in the area.
