Right now the FDR is closed in BOTH directions around East 6th Street in Manhattan because of an incident with a construction crane nearby.
Use alternate routes and avoid the area if you can. FDNY, OEM & Buildings Dept are on the ground to keep people safe and get this resolved. https://t.co/Fbhc9RuuHC— Mayor Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) July 30, 2019
