*Car Fire on the Verrazzano Bridge This Morning* A car caught fire on the lower level of the Verrazzano Bridge, Brooklyn-bound side, at about 7:41 this morning, during rush hour. Heavy black smoke could be seen as far away as the FDR Boardwalk. Firefighters put out the fire and no one was hurt. Lanes on the lower level were closed, traffic backed up heavily on the approach to the bridge, and buses ran with delays. The lower level reopened at about 9:15, and traffic is now moving normally. *_Join the Island Media WhatsApp Status_* https://wa.me/19297271071?text=Subscribe *_Join the Island News and Updates group_* https://chat.whatsapp.com/Bi5MGP3Nx1qJUoVkKmYW5j
