A truck fire occurred on the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge early Friday morning, prompting an immediate response from the FDNY which led to the temporary closure of the upper level in both directions. The incident was first reported at 8:05 a.m. and caused notable delays on the Staten Island Expressway for drivers heading toward Brooklyn. Fortunately, no injuries were reported from the incident, and by 9:15 a.m., traffic lanes had reopened, though residual delays were expected as congestion cleared.
