At around 12:00pm today the Brooklyn Bridge was shut down on the Manhattan bound side after the police received a call that there was a suspicious package on the ramp. The police immediately cleared the bridge and shut it down to all traffic.
The Bomb Squad, ESU, EMS, and FDNY responded and identified the package as not being a threat and the bridge should be open by now.
