MILPITAS — All lanes of northbound Interstate 680 were reopened Monday night following an hours-long shutdown as Milpitas police worked to convince a man not to jump from an overpass to the freeway below, according to the California Highway Patrol.

At about 9:40 p.m., the CHP and Milpitas Police Department announced via Twitter that the situation had been resolved. CHP Officer Ross Lee said the man “came down safely.”

The CHP began receiving reports about a possible jumper on the Montague Expressway-Landess Avenue overpass just before 4:30 p.m. A negotiation team from the Milpitas Police Department responded to the scene while the CHP diverted northbound traffic.

Traffic on the freeway and surface streets was impacted for hours as a result of the shutdown.
