Bridge Closures and the Reasons Why
The San Diego-Coronado Bridge is a state highway, managed by the California Department of Transportation and the California Highway Patrol.
The bridge is closed for many reasons, including traffic accidents, someone who is contemplating jumping, and, as in recent days, due to protesters aiming to walk across the bridge.

When the bridge is closed, it may be closed by the CHP or by the City’s Police Department, or both, if an emergency situation arises. Law enforcement may close both sides of the bridge, as needed.
