PHOTOS: Triborough Bridge Shut Down

From left to right, NYC The Blog captured photos from traffic cameras atop the Triborough bridge taken moments ago. The bridge is closed due to a suspicious vehicle. They show the Queens bound exit, Bronx bound exit and Manhattan bound exits closed. Police and emergency units can be seen in the distance. Click through for a larger photo. 

The video cameras are not in service at this time, but still photos are being transmitted.

UPDATE: NYC Aviation has a photo up on Flickr. UPDATE: Live video. My Fox New York just reported the police gave the truck the all clear. The vehicle they report is completely empty and not a danger.
