A photo shared with Daily Hive captures a line of out-of-service buses on the bridge, with what look to be bus drivers standing outside of the vehicles.
A number of other social media users have reported the buses being stuck as well. Posts on Twitter say that there are approximately 15 to 20 buses that are stuck in the area.
