Traffic chaos in New York as several lanes of Queensboro bridge will be closed for at least 2 days following massive truck fire
Traffic jams stretched longer than 40 blocks north and south, as well as clear across Manhattan to the Hudson River
Trips across the burned bridge, normally a few minutes, took longer than an hour
The truck's reserve fuel tanks holding 80 gallons of diesel exploded just after 11am Friday
Flames and towering smoke could be seen miles away
New Yorkers are suffering through nightmare traffic as several lanes on one of the main bridges out Manhattan were closed Friday after a truck fire. A 40-foot tractor trailer on the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge’s lower level burst into flames just after 11am, sending flames and thick black smoke billowing into the sky. The fire was put out within an hour, but the resulting damage is going to send drivers’ tempers flaring until at least Sunday.
Traffic jams stretched for miles, gridlocking both Midtown and the Upper East Side with two and three hour delays during the height of evening rush hour.
