Westbound I-80 traffic was being diverted to San Pablo Dam Road. Caltrans advised drivers to make a left turn onto southbound San Pablo, drive one mile and get back into I-80 via the San Pablo Avenue onramp.

The leak was contained fairly quickly, but delays persisted as authorities ensured the roadway was safe for drivers. Traffic was backed up for miles due to the spill.
