(KRON) — Multiple eastbound lanes on the Bay Bridge were shut down due to police activity Wednesday afternoon, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP). Eastbound lanes 1 and 5 of I-80 just west of Treasure Island were closed.
As of 7 p.m., all eastbound lanes have reopened. However, Lane 1 going westbound on the bridge remains closed.
First responders were dispatched to the sides of the bridge. The police activity is due to a person experiencing a mental health crisis, according to CHP. That person has since been taken into custody.
“Please avoid the area & exercise patience while we attempt to resolve this incident,” the CHP said.
As of 7 p.m., the incident has been resolved, according to the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management. Travelers should expect continued delays as traffic slowly begins to clear up.

CHP first posted about the incident on X at 3:36 p.m.
