cellboySubject: MEDIA ALERT: HWY 280 Closures
The closures are to facilitate the filming of action sequences for the NBC
Universal TV drama pilot "Trauma," which features emergency responders working a tanker truck crash.
The simulated freeway crash involving several cars and a tanker truck is
scheduled for Saturday March 28 and will include aerial helicopter
activity. The scenes to be filmed on Sunday will include an explosion with
a fireball and billowing smoke. There will be aerial helicopter activity
throughout the day.
Throughout filming, there will also be intermittent traffic stoppages at
the entrance to I-280 S/B at both 6TH Street and KING STREET whenever there
is a stunt being filmed or a helicopter landing or taking off. These brief
intermittent stoppages will take place randomly during filming on the
weekend and on the weekdays between 10 AM and 3 PM.
The California Highway Patrol, the San Francisco Police and Fire
Departments and other emergency service departments for the City of San
Francisco and the State of California have been notified in advance of this
permitted filming.
