Disabled Big Rig Closes Westbound Lane On Bay Bridge's Western Span

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- A disabled big rig closed the far right lane of the western span of the Bay Bridge Tuesday afternoon, according to authorities.

The tractor trailer was located west of Treasure Island in the #5 lane.

The San Francisco CHP office tweeted about the incident shortly after 4 p.m. Tuesday.

While there was less traffic on westbound I-80 due to the closure of a stretch of the highway in Crockett due to the NuStar refinery fire, the closure had an impact on the evening commute.

The lane was reopened sometime Tuesday evening.
