Roads near the Strip are set to reopen after they were closed Thursday afternoon because of police activity.
Officers were called just after 1:30 p.m. to the Desert Inn overpass near Highland Drive, Metropolitan Police Department spokesman Larry Hadfield said. A man was on the bridge, but police took him into custody, spokeswoman Laura Meltzer said.
“They should be clearing up the roads soon,” she said about 4:40 p.m.
Desert Inn was closed between Highland and Paradise Road. Sammy Davis Jr. Drive was closed underneath the Desert Inn arterial.
