10/22/08 Tanker crash and fire
How about a tanker crash that triggered a massive inferno that damaged the pavement on I-880 southbound and took 13 hours to repair the pavement for the freeway to reopen? (source) AkiStuart (talk) 14:52, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Carpool lanes are in place along much of I-880. Where do they start and end? Also, change may be coming.
If I recall correctly, the southerly limits to the carpool lanes are at or near the interchange with US 101 in San Jose. As to the northerly limits, I needed to do original research and finally found the right person to talk to at the Alameda County Transportation Commission. She said that for northbound traffic, the carpool lane ends south of Highway 238; and for southbound traffic, the lane begins at Hegenberger in Oakland. When someone finds a suitable source, these facts should be added to the article.

The carpool lane in Santa Clara County (from Mission, aka CA 262, to US 101) may be changed to express-lane operation. If this works the same way as another freeway in the San Francisco Bay Area, each car using the express lane will require a transponder ("FasTrak tag"). That includes carpools. Therefore, if your carpool lacks this transponder, you can't use the express lane at all; and a new version of the transponder is needed to avoid the toll. This Wikipedia article may need future update. Oaklandguy (talk) 22:46, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
