Protesters advocating for an end to the war in Gaza have caused significant disruptions across major Bay Area highways, including Interstate 880 and the Golden Gate Bridge. The demonstrators, who are part of a global 'economic blockade' movement, have blocked both northbound and southbound lanes on these highways, leading to extensive traffic delays. The California Highway Patrol is actively working to manage the situation, as protesters have used barrels and other methods to obstruct traffic. This series of protests is part of a larger, worldwide movement in solidarity with Palestine. Notably, 15 people were reported blocking the road, and all lanes have been shut down with CHP on scene.
