CHP issued a special traffic alert on Sunday afternoon when a police standoff with a person barricaded in a vehicle shut down I-80 in Richmond in both directions.
The 511SF.org Twitter account posted about the police activity shortly before 1 p.m., but initially indicated that the closure was at Cutting Boulevard in El Cerrito. The account issued a correction a short time later stating that I-80 was shut down in both eastbound and westbound directions at Central Avenue in Richmond.
The KCBS Traffic Twitter account also posted about the incident with the same initially incorrect information and an image from a Caltrans camera. CHP later confirmed that the closure was due to police being in a standoff with a person barricaded inside a vehicle on the freeway after a pursuit by Contra Costa County Sheriff's deputies.
At about 1:37 p.m., CHP announced that eastbound lanes of the freeway had reopened. All westbound lanes remained blocked. UPDATE: Police Department Activity on Eastbound and Westbound I-80 at Central Ave in Richmond. Eastbound Lanes are Now Open. All Westbound Lanes Blocked Remain Main Blocked.
