   SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — All westbound lanes across the full span of the   
   Bay Bridge have reopened after protesters shut down Interstate 80   
   traffic heading to San Francisco during the Thursday morning commute.   
   The protesters stopped their cars on the bridge, east of Treasure   
   Island, and threw their keys into the Bay before chaining themselves   
   together and to the bridge, according to California Highway Patrol.   
      
   Bay Bridge protest: Dramatic photos capture hours long shutdown   
   Around 80 protesters on the bridge were cited and released in a joint   
   effort by CHP, the San Francisco Police Department and the San Francisco   
   Sheriff’s Office, according to SFSO. Approximately 250 officers   
   responded to the scene, CHP said.   
      
   During a news conference, the CHP said 15 vehicles were towed from the   
   bridge as of 9:45 a.m., and the CHP estimated another 5 to 15 more   
   vehicles would be towed.   
      
   Why was Bay Bridge blocked? APEC protests explained   
   Protest organizers called for an immediate ceasefire and to end U.S.   
   military aid to Israel, according to a press release.   
      
   The westbound direction was closed for nearly four hours.   
      
   Caltrans encouraged motorists to use I-580, I-880, and Highway 92 as   
   alternate routes. Transbay bus lines were diverted to the West Oakland   
   BART station for riders to continue into San Francisco via train,   
   according to AC Transit.
