The bridge has closed but not completely. Marine Companies 4, and 6 are shooting water on the bridge to cool down the steel. NYCDOT workers are trying to get the connections to close. Traffic on the Madison Avenue bridge heading into Manhattan is a mess. Nice photo 73!

IT REMAINED OPEN FOR SEVERAL HOURS PREVENTING MARINE, VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC FROM GETTING BY THAT VERY VITAL AND MAJOR THOROUGHFARE . APPARENTLY THE BRIDGE’S OPENING AND CLOSING MECHANISM OVERHEATED AND REQUIRED THAT THE FDNY AND IT’S MARINE UNITS HELP COOL IT OFF BY SHOOTING WATER UP TO IT }”…..
