A car caught fire this morning on the Bay Bridge and temporarily blocked two left eastbound lanes. Video of the incident showed the car engulfed in flames on the eastbound lanes of the bridge just past Treasure Island. The left lanes of traffic that had been blocked have now reopened, according to the CHP. Drivers had earlier been advised to expect delays, use alternate routes and avoid the area. All lanes are now open, although residual delays are expected. Flames from the car had also spread to a nearby emergency call box. The car appeared to be blocking traffic in the far left lane and two emergency vehicles appeared to be on scene. It’s not known if anyone was injured in the fire. Bridge cam video from another angle showed that the blaze had been extinguished and several firefighters were inspecting the burned-out vehicle.
