LIVERMORE -- Monday afternoon's commute on eastbound Interstate Highway 580 through Livermore was ground to a halt for miles after the discovery of a large crack in the roadway.

Caltrans tweeted at 2:42 p.m. that the two right lanes of eastbound I-580 were closed east of North Flynn Road and that while crews were working to reopen the lanes, they would not be reopened in time for the eastbound commute.

The crack appears to have been caused by a small landslide next to the eastbound lanes which also collapsed a portion of the concrete barrier along the shoulder.
