Protest,Golden Gate Bridge,Traffic

Traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge has been shut down in both directions Monday morning as a group of protesters blocks southbound traffic midspan according to CHP.

The bridge protest was the second demonstration to impact traffic on Bay Area freeways. It was first reported shortly after 8 a.m., hours after a pro-Palestinian protest closed all lanes on I-880 in Oakland.Southbound traffic on the span was at a standstill with traffic backing up through the Robin Williams Tunnel into Sausalito on southbound 101, CHP said.

There was also word from CHP that protesters were also trying to block traffic on the northbound side, though vehicles seemed to be getting across the span in that direction.Chopper footage of the protest on the Golden Gate Bridge showed protesters with a banner that read 'STOP THE WORLD FOR GAZA' across the southbound lanes. There was no traffic seen in the video moving in the northbound lanes.
