Yahoo! Maps Detours for “MacArthur Maze” Mess

Just a quick pointer to some nice work done by our colleagues on the Yahoo! Maps team. The recent collapse of a section of I-580 onto I-80 in Oakland, CA (affectionately known as the MacArthur Maze), got a lot of attention and is definitely a commuter’s nightmare right now. To help ease some of the commuting frustrations, the Yahoo! Maps team has removed the connector ramp from the mapping system and is offering some alternative routes to consider for the next few months. Here’s a sample route from Walnut Creek to San Francisco.

Does this mean that yahoo plans to update maps after every disaster?
