Coronado Bridge Reopened - Man Taken Into Custody

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The Coronado Bridge was closed in both directions Tuesday morning, after someone threatened to jump, according to the California Highway Patrol and San Diego police.

The bridge was closed at about 4:25 a.m. "due to police activity," the CHP reported on its website.

The man was taken into custody shortly before 7 a.m., a CHP dispatcher said. Officers began to re-open lanes just after 7 a.m., a dispatcher said.

BTW, coming into the island this past Sat and were greeted on the bridge by a man on a bicycle...
