San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge

Crash Causes Traffic Backup on Bay Bridge

NBC Bay Area/File

Traffic delays continued Saturday afternoon on westbound Interstate 80 on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, even after the three right-hand lanes reopened, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The lanes had been blocked in the wake of a multi-vehicle crash that happened west of Treasure Island on the bridge. All three lanes were open around 2:30 p.m., but the delays continued.

"Traffic is always heavy westbound at this time on Saturday, but it is compounded by any sort of incident like this when you have a crash with multiple vehicles," said CHP Officer Mark Andrews.

Motorists are advised to use alternate routes.
