I-5 closed in downtown Sacramento due to law enforcement activity<\/p>\n

\"JeremiahSACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014<\/p>\n

Both directions of Interstate 5 in downtown Sacramento are closed due to law enforcement activity, according to the California Highway Patrol. <\/p>\n

CHP said Northbound I-5 at State Route 50 and Southbound I-5 at Richards Boulevard are shut down for an unknown duration of time as officers respond to a mental health emergency. CHP added westbound and eastbound Highway 50 ramps to Northbound I-5 will be shut down.<\/p>\n

Caltrans cameras show traffic at a standstill. <\/p>\n

CHP advises motorists to stay out of the area and take alternate routes. Alternate routes are on State Route 99 and Interstate 80. <\/p>\n

All southbound traffic is being taken off at Richards Boulevard and Northbound traffic is being diverted at Highway 50.<\/p>\n

Sacramento Police crisis negotiators are enroute to the scene. <\/p>\n
