bay bridge

SAN FRANCISCO Authorities are closing both directions of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, after a cable snapped on the top floor of the range. California Highway Patrol Officer Peter Van Eckhardt said the bridge will be closed for at least 24 hours for crews can attempt to repair the cable that snapped during the switching of the night.

Van Eckhardt says the closure comes after a cable and a large piece of metal fell onto the westbound direction of the roadway about around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Before the closure, traffic was already backed up into Oakland.
One person was shaken up and at last one vehicle damaged in the incident.
The cable snapped near the same section of bridge that was the scene of a big rig crash earlier this month.
