Reichstädter previously climbed the bridge in 2022 during a protest over the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
The right lane of the bridge remains blocked, and travelers should expect delays.
Traffic delays and detours
- Two northbound right lanes on the Douglass Bridge remain blocked for police activity.
