The eastbound lanes of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge reopened Saturday afternoon as San Francisco firefighters battled a grass fire on Yerba Buena Island.
All eastbound lanes on Bay Bridge were reopen after 5:30 p.m.
The fire, on a steep, rugged hillside with no roads and no fire hydrants, had threatened historic U.S. Coast Guard structures, he said.
The highway was closed about 2:30 p.m. as about 40 San Francisco firefighters responded from a fireboat and from the bridge.
No injuries were reported.
