A Caltrans crew reportedly found the suspicious device along the freeway and called authorities at 8:12 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.
All lanes of the freeway in both directions were closed while a bomb squad investigated.
A Sigalert was issued for the stretch of freeway as traffic started backing up in both directions.
