NEW YORK (Reuters) - No bomb was found in a truck abandoned on New York City's Triborough Bridge on Wednesday night and the busy roads connecting the boroughs of Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx will reopen shortly, police said.
New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said the bridge was shut down after a worker on the bridge found the vehicle, a U-Haul rental truck with Arizona license plates, abandoned and smelling of gas.
Browne said the police bomb squad X-rayed the vehicle and found it was empty.
The closure came days after a failed bomb attack on New York's Times Square that has heightened security concerns in America's most populous city.
