That must be a hell of a pothole.
The pothole was reported on Saturday and this article was written on Sunday and Caltran has no estimate on when the freeway will reopen.

On the Santa Ana (101) Freeway, southbound lanes just north of East 1st Street were closed after a pothole was reported at 11:55 p.m. Saturday, according to the CHP. The depression measured 4 feet in diameter and was about 6 inches deep, Carter said. No injuries were reported, but 20 to 25 vehicles were stranded on the right shoulder with flat tires, Carter said.

Caltrans was working to repair the pothole, but there was no estimate of when the freeway would reopen, Carter said
