Caltrans says a secondary motor gave out on the bridge. With the primary motor already out for maintenance, that left the bridge stuck with its deck not fully closed.
All traffic - including vehicle, pedestrian, and boat traffic under - were turned around.
The bridge was reopened a little after 10:30 a.m.
