Good Morning:

This data is contained in the "Gap" track on the genome browser,
the underlying tables for the gap track are chr*_gap.  You can
obtain the data in the Gap track from the Tables browser via
the "Tables" navigation link in the blue navigation bar at the
top of the browser display.

Or, you can fetch the gap tables via the public MySQL server with
the following MySQL commands:
mysql -N --user=genome --host=genome-mysql.cse.ucsc.edu -A \
         -e 'select chrom from chromInfo;' hg18 \
         | while read CHR
do
mysql -N --user=genome --host=genome-mysql.cse.ucsc.edu -A \
         -e "select * from ${CHR}_gap;" hg18
done

The "type" column of these tables indicates the type of gap.
