Yes -- they say by possibly Thursday afternoon.
The detour is 'only 6 or 7 miles' but the Tracy area is a major hub for ultra commuters to the Bay Area and the detour is on non-major highways 132 and 33 and could be confusing to those not familiar w/ the area. Just a heads up -- but they are working 24/7 to get it re-opened
