Interstate 580 in San Leandro was closed in both directions due to a police standoff, causing significant traffic disruptions. The closure was prompted by a police investigation following a homicide in Pleasanton, which led to a suspect pursuit on I-580. The California Highway Patrol announced that the interstate was partially reopened later, with all eastbound lanes and two westbound lanes accessible to traffic. Motorists were advised to expect delays and consider using Interstate 880 as an alternate route. Additionally, a crash on Interstate 80 eastbound at El Portal, blocking two right lanes, further compounded traffic issues in the area.
UPDATE: Pleasanton Police Department says it is investigating a homicide at a residence, which then turned into a suspect pursuit on I-580 to San Leandro that shut down the freeway this afternoon. Latest here: https://t.co/McDe1HHzcO https://t.co/95DL2EmRU3
