Closure of Westbound Interstate 80 near Hercules for Police Activity
All lanes heading west on Interstate 80 in Contra Costa County are still shut down Thursday afternoon due to ongoing police activity that started earlier in the day. The closure, which began around 9:10 a.m. at the Hercules offramp, has caused a significant backup extending for several miles toward the Carquinez Bridge. Meanwhile, one lane going eastbound on I-80 is closed at Pinole Valley Road. The California Highway Patrol reported that the situation was triggered by an earlier traffic collision. While the Hercules Police Department clarified that they were not directly involved in the incident, they are helping to manage the traffic situation and assured that there is no threat to the public. Further specifics about the incident are currently unavailable. As of noon, the westbound lanes of the freeway remain inaccessible. Traffic is being redirected at Willow Avenue, and a reopening time has not been provided. Commuters are advised to seek alternative routes.
