Both lanes of the westbound Interstate 80 connector to southbound Interstate 880 in Oakland re-opened today and traffic is moving smoothly, according to a California Highway Patrol dispatcher.

This comes after a gas tanker explosion caused a portion of the interchange to collapse eight days ago.

According to a California Highway Patrol dispatcher, the roadway re-opened at 4:19 a.m., well before its expected opening at 5 a.m.
