Friday afternoon at approximately 1:29 PM, a group of approximately 55 protesters proceeded onto the Alfred Zampa Memorial – Carquinez Bridge pedestrian walkway between Vallejo and Crockett in Western Contra Costa County. At approximately 1:40 PM, protestors crossed over the concrete barrier between the pedestrian walkway and right hand shoulder of Westbound I-80. Protesters subsequently entered the Westbound I-80 lanes of traffic. Westbound I-80 was shutdown, with one lane of traffic intermittently open by CHP officers on scene to relieve congestion. At approximately 3:00 PM all lanes of traffic were opened.
