All lanes of the Golden Gate Bridge were open on Tuesday morning, October 27, following an injury crash in the northbound direction, KION Central Coast reported, citing the California Highway Patrol. Officers were called to the bridge shortly after 6:10 a.m. for a crash on the span, and additional details about the collision were not immediately available, the report said.
Following the crash, all northbound lanes were blocked for more than an hour while the southbound direction remained open, according to KION. The backup extended past the Toll Plaza and the Highway 1 / Highway 101 interchange, and the CHP said all lanes were open as of 7:30 a.m.
Particle News, summarising CHP and local alert reporting on the same crash, described it as a two-vehicle collision that closed all northbound lanes of U.S. 101 on the bridge and prompted a severe traffic alert. It said ALERTSF and local outlets reported injuries, but authorities had not released details on the number of people hurt or the severity of their injuries. Commuters between San Francisco and the North Bay were urged to expect residual delays while the CHP continued its investigation.
The Golden Gate Bridge carries U.S. 101 between San Francisco and Marin County and is one of the Bay Area's busiest commuter and freight crossings. No names, vehicle details or cause have been released in the available reporting.
