PENNSVILLE, N. J. — A chemical leak shut down the Delaware Memorial Bridge in both directions Sunday evening, bringing traffic on a major East Coast artery to a standstill on one of the busiest travel days of the year.

The bridge closed around 5 p.m. Sunday. Facility operators requested it be shut down, the authority tweeted.
