Highway Patrol Officer Ray Scheidnes says the woman climbed on top of a chain-link cage covering the sides of the bridge. He says she considered jumping and remained there, some 60 feet above the freeway, until finally coming down and surrendering to police around 10 a.m.
All southbound lanes and all but two northbound lanes were closed during the negotiations. Scheidnes says tens of thousands of cars were affected.
