Interstate 95 is closed in both directions near the New Hampshire-Maine border amid “active police conditions,” authorities warned.
In a post shared on X around 2 p.m. Tuesday, New Hampshire State Police said the highway was closed in the area of the Piscataqua River Bridge.
The road was reopened around 4:00 p.m
State police said troopers were responding to a “mental health crisis on the bridge.”
The Piscataqua River Bridge connects New Hampshire and Maine.
A man wanted in connection with the killing of his wife was shot and killed by state troopers on the Piscataqua River Bridge in late August.
That incident caused the bridge to be closed for six hours.
“State Police remind anyone struggling with mental health issues that help is available. Anyone can call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 9-8-8 for free and confidential support for themselves, a friend or loved one,” New Hampshire State Police shared in a statement.
