The Vincent Thomas Bridge was closed in both directions for most of Saturday, as a man perched on the structure finally voluntarily descended from his perch around 2 p.m., authorities said.
A 59-year-old West Covina man was cited for trespassing and released after climbing atop the bridge and staying there for some 31 hours, shutting down the bridge to traffic.
The CHP tweeted that the bridge was open again at 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
