All eastbound lanes on the Bay Bridge reopened around 8 a.m. Wednesday after an overturned vehicle blocked the lower deck during the morning commute, Bay City News reported via SFGATE and the San Francisco Chronicle.
The California Highway Patrol told Bay City News the crash was reported shortly before 6:40 a.m. on the lower deck east of First Street. The San Francisco Department of Emergency Management said a vehicle had overturned and was still blocking lanes an hour later, and that the lanes reopened shortly before 8 a.m. More details about the crash, including whether anyone was injured, were not immediately available, Bay City News reported.
The Chronicle said authorities reported around 7:45 a.m. that an overturned vehicle was blocking the right and center lanes, and that city officials urged drivers to avoid the roadway and use other routes. It said all lanes reopened around 8 a.m., though officials warned residual delays could continue. The two accounts agree on an early-morning overturned vehicle, eastbound lane closures and a reopening around 8 a.m.; they differ slightly on how the location and the number of blocked lanes were described.
